Public transportation is time consuming. Most people use their cars. Lanes are clean and visible. More bike lanes are being created. Businesses are spread apart so walking is not very efficient.

There has been a lot of violence lately. Usually in the businesses near by. I wouldn't go out at night spontaneously. You see the police drive by every so often. There have been robberies If you stay out of the way, you probably will be safe for the most part. The police respond when called. It would be safer if cops patrolled more frequently at night and occasionally during the day.

It's easier to find a job in the county or in an area away from the city if you're looking for a restaurant or retail job. Most jobs here are grocery store jobs. It might be harder to find work as a teenager because most workers are older. There are not top companies in the area.
