    "People just let their dogs out and do not walk on leashes and never clean up after them. Dogs roaming freely can be a safety concern for pedestrians and their pets."

    "I’ve lived in this area since June ‘19. It’s gotten worse and worse. Shootings, robberies, assaults, home break ins, you name it. It’s constant as well. You want cheap homes in ratchet neighborhoods, this is the place for you. Never would have moved here had I known it was this bad. Can’t wait to get my kids out of here. ASAP. "

    "Love it here because it’s super close to the city it’s also super affordable it has its flaws with crime but if you’re looking for a home I would buy here since identification is on its way and obviously it’s going to get better crime wise"
