I like how green the area is, the nearby Woodland Park Zoo/ Woodland Park, family friendliness, and safety. It would be better if there was more diversity and the houses were not as expensive. Mostly nice old craftsman houses but some are ugly and modern. Very hilly and not super easy to walk places.

Police and fire station are very good but local representation is okay, governor I feel does an efficient job at representing the people of the state.

The area where I live mostly has small shops and stores with a few medical offices, which doesn't offer the greatest selection of places to work.
