My experience living i n Carrick a neighborhood in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania has been isolating at times. Carrick High School experiences many fights and violence. I would like to see Carrick be a safer community.

Carrick is very diverse. It has a lot of drug overdoses. Sometimes you will even see drug deals going on right beside you. However, overall, it is safe.
