Roads are always cracked with potholes and constantly need to be fixed. bad lighting at night and break ins every once in a while in the neighborhood.

I cannot say much about the employment quality here, because I've only ever had one job, a lifeguard at Jacksonville Beach.

Most of the people I went to school with, at a school of the arts, were extremely diverse. I went to school with transgenders, bisexual kids, gay kids, straight kids, you name it. I enjoyed, though, how no one was judged for being different. I don't know if i can say the same for the rest of my city, though, but i can hope that they treat everyone with the same kindness that i experienced at my high school. The overall friendliness of people here I cannot say much about. There have been riots, fights, and crime, however there have also been wonderful accounts of community outreach and service towards others.
