    "I have lived here for 2 1/2 years. I Bought my house in 2019, planning to sell and move to the suburbs. My block is quiet but most blocks over here are not. Guys hang out on corners still. My car was broken into last month. Can’t wait to get out of here. "

    "You can’t park your cars anywhere cause drunk drivers like to play bumper cars. My parked car was totaled on Christmas Eve. Drug dealers sit in front of the house ALL DAY and have taken over the park. A young girl was killed on the corner last summer. Not an area for kids period!"

    "I've lived in this neighborhood for over 40 years. Most of the older neighborhoods have passed away and the young people in the area are loud and disrespectful. We need more owners to occupy the properties."
