    "Cayuga Park, Alice Chalmers, and other hills around here make it one of the most diverse places to walk your dog. Every dog is always on a leash, and parks are super dog friendly."

    "This area has the best weather. It's close to the farmers' market and has lots of good restaurants. There are lots of parks in Outer Mission including Balboa Park. On sunny days, I love to sit on a bench and watch the games. There are also lots of programs at the senior center."

    "The Outer Mission is a working class community. It is a melting pot of different cultures. Most of the people living in the Outer Mission are native San Franciscans. It is one of the last areas in San Francisco where you'll still see lots of native locals. Every place in the Outer Mission is no frills—many 'mom and pop' shops serve the community well. It is hard to find parking, and lots of people rent out in-law apartments in parts of the neighborhood."

    "Easily accessible by Balboa BART. The 14 Muni line runs a block away, and freeways and main roads like Mission, Alemany, and Bayshore Blvd. border the Outer Mission."

    "The commute can be pretty rough. It's not near a BART station or a Caltrain station so you need to take a bus, which can be sketchy."

    "There are dog-friendly parks close by and a lot of restaurants allow dog owners to eat there outside with their dogs. What we don't like is that there are some irresponsible owners who do not clean up after their dogs."
