    It's a nice area to live once you get use to it. But I wouldn't say that if I had the option to live in another area I wouldn't take it .

    There are a lot of more convenient places where I'm currently living. I don't have a

    car so everything is locally in the area!
    A lot of breaking and enteries have occurred .
