Everyone in this area is so nice and considerate. After Hurricane Matthew all the neighbors made sure that everyone was okay and assured them that if they needed them that they would lend a hand. The communities are built to make friendships.

Where I was originally from, crime was normal, so much so that people knew the difference between a gunshot and a firework. Here however, I have no worries about my safety. Crime is low and the people are kind.
