    "There aren’t many places (dog parks) where you can let your dog off leash. If your dog poops on the sidewalk, and you pick it up in a plastic bag, you then have to go find a trash can to throw it away or carry it with you the whole time. There aren’t many trash cans throughout the street."

    "On occasion I see people walking dogs but when I do walk hey are rarely in a leash. Which I personally find irresponsible and dangerous. There is also lots of trash and broken glass or metal objects on the ground so it’s a worry walking a dog outside. "

    "There are very few grassy areas to walk your dog, few trees to provide shade during the summer, and the neighbors light fireworks year round. There is a ton of development and construction happening in parts of it which is stressful for more sensitive dogs. "
