    "People do not clean up after their dogs is like walking through a minefield. People love to just walk around after their dog finished their business."

    "It’s loud sometimes, crime levels can vary, I want to move out because I’m more of a isolated quiet place kind of person. If you like to have everything near by like a market, mall, retail stores and more and the sound of trains or cars then this is the place for you."
