It's like that everywhere in the world. Unfortunately, in our neighbourhood it's a bit worse than that. Every day we hear police sirens and something bad is happening again. Robberies and shootings in the past few years are too many to count on one hand. At night, I (as an 18-year-old) am no longer allowed to go outside by my parents, purely because of our neighbourhood. For the rest, I am very satisfied with the nature park near us, and the many schools.
