    "Overcrowded, overpriced, overrated. It’s a difficult life and way to live. Perhaps it suits some, but it doesn’t feel like a place I can call home. "

    "I am living in this area for over 12years now. The community has been drastically changing. Things are getting quite expensive day by day. It is still good, quite neighborhood to live with families. Library, Parks, supermarkets, public transportations are near by. I wish we could feel more safer at night like before. Now and then you can hear notifications in citizen app about something going on in the neighborhood. Alot of things going on everyday!"
