    "It’s a city hall down the street from me and most of the time it’s packed so I guess that shows the community cares."

    "The city has undergone many improvements in the last few years but still has a long way to go. The Mayor has invested greatly in public spaces, infrastructure, and public safety but a lot still needs to be done about the under performing schools, lack of public transportation, and few jobs. My side of town (West side near Hammond) is mostly families and relatively safe but still poor schools, no transportation, and no jobs. Very walkable."

    "Our family has lived in this neighborhood for over 50 years. The neighborhood has took a bit of a dive and quite a few new people have moved into the area from some underprivileged areas of Chicago. Although we are dedicated to our home, if the crime rate continues to increase we may start to view other options. "
