Has some decent parks and trails for hiking, walking, biking... The new parking permit laws and rain taxes are ridiculous. Its a city. There's nice, clean areas and then there's some not so nice areas. Lots of variety of food and culture though. Access to colleges, major highways, job opportunities, or pretty much anything you want is also whats nice about it.
My car was broken into last year. Heard the guy was caught, but never got any kind of follow up from police.
I love my neighborhood and it's only getting better!!
