South Shore is an under-resourced community that needs substantial help of the community members and the city of Chicago to help stop violence. It has great people and opportunities if you go out to look for it.

Certain parts are great and others not so great. They really need to clean up 71st and Jeffery. People who commutes to work downtown either take CTA or Metra which is right near 71st and Jeffery. The is a lot of unwanted traffic selling unwanted things. Please clean it up and make people feel safe while waiting on there train or bus.

I like the fact that South Shore is changing for the better. A lot of abandoned buildings are being renovated and will soon increase property values in the area. I would like to see more lighting on 79th past Yates. Once they get the bad elements out of the area it will be the South Shore of the past with respected, working class families.

I've lived here for about 3 years now and honestly can't complain. It's quiet the majority of the time and has an amazing school available.
