    "Dog owners would like that most of the neighbors have dogs, but wouldn’t like that most don’t clean up after their dogs and the dogs are sometimes off their leashes."

I take the bus to work 5 days a week . have to walk past the apartments. always feel uncomfortable walking on that street . Well I was right. One Day I saw a Needles on the sidewalk. Making me feel unsafe for me and our children. Time to move before it get worse. "

    "Great place to grow up Has changed over the years and I am getting ready to move. Things aren’t the same anymore. People are moving out and the blocks are getting bad. Houses are going up for rent and they are renting to anyone. Just not the same as 15 years ago when I was a kid. "

    "Well as far as my street, there are kids that play together all age differences. my block is technically a 1way ,but cars seem think its a 2way street. this neighborhood used to be good,but now its becoming a typical "hood area" anymore. I want to & am getting out of here asap.!!!! The school's are alright, the principal calls it the "united nation" many different cultures around here. "
