Because I have spent my whole life in this area I think it is a great area. I grew up in this area. I love this area. But I can not stay there forever. Someone new coming in might not like this area because it is so busy, something is always happening. This area is my favorite place compared to anywhere else because it is what I know, it is where I come from.

The crime in this area is bad. Since people in this area are unemployed they feel the urge to have to go out and sell drugs, of rob people to make their income. The police and detectives investigate for one day, then give up on the case after that. The neighborhood would be better of solving cases ourselves. In order to prevent crimes we need better police officers, programs to get people on the streets working, etc.
