I like Van Nuys because there are many interesting walks and trails nearby. I enjoy birdwatching in Van Nuys. There are even parrots flying around! It's a flat town, which is great for me because I have some disabilities that make hilly cities more difficult to get around.
Van Nuys could improve itself by cutting back on the weed dispensaries. The town is filled with legal and illegal shops and grow houses. I'm a big supporter of the legalization of marijuana, but a lot of the people in the business are shady and attract shady types.

Hello! I recently moved to Van Nuys in the past 2 years and it is an awesome little city within greater Los Angeles. It is very conveniently located with so much to do and see. My favorite part is Lake Balboa, which I could literally walk to. And the best part or living here is that the traffic is so much better than if I was right in the heart of LA. I used to live on the west side and it would take sooo long to get anywhere! Now, I drive for 10 minutes to get where I need to go, including school. And the last, best thing about living here is that I’m so much closer to my best friend. We need that friendship time and if has made us closer, if that’s possible. Thank you so much!
Living in Van Nuys has been distinctively different every year as things change around the neighborhood. What I like about living in the Valley is the Hispanic culture and being able to live close to my family. The Valley is extremely surrounded with different individuals from different backgrounds which I like because everyone is different. However, poverty has been growing around the Valley which is unfortunate as there are homeless people living in each corner. I would like the culture to stay but, I would like poverty to decrease. If poverty would decrease in the Valley, it would make it a better place.
