Good transportation. Good community activities. Churches, etc. Good opportunities to connect with others. Elizabeth L - 79

Bus is not really a travel why is that because you would figure that most places and they don't take allowed to have a person that will cheer tonight with you OK should be more wheelchair accessible without access to the jobs for DuFour and I were hired her as that girl are you finding. Don't feel comfortable at night in the area.

If you can afford the rent, you can get in. If you don't work and can't afford the rent, you deteriorate. There are places available to help people who can afford it. The places available are very helpful to those in need. The neighborhood has places available to help. Donna L

More hospitality. Needs to be a lot of improvement. People are too isolated. Whole city needs more ways for people to connect

OK have you noticed anything you particular that you feel is helpful to them if you want to see here I think that Massachusetts takes care of a lot of people. Haven't been here for a while but it seems like they help their people. Johnny S - 47
