This is a great place

I'm not sure where all the bad comments came from but this is a great place. First the bad things everyone talks about are not all true. Parking has never been an issue for me and I've come home as late as 5am. I always have parking. Visitors also have plenty of space, there's a lot of them around. I think a lot of people just think because the place is nice looking everything should just be at their fingertips. It's called don't be a pessimist. The lighting of the complex could be better, true, but the vast majority of places stay well lit so that's not a big concern. The dog poop is true, there's plenty of it. But its also a problem that a bunch of people seem to be too lazy to pick it up. I have a dog and the bags they provide are very helpful. They do run out so just take a couple more when they come out and also mention it, they will do something about it. The service people are quick, especially if its an emergency and remember that you're not the only person. It seems to me that too many people are spoiled and expect too much from the place. I guess till you live in a real ---- hole, you really won't know the difference. There are no rats, mice, cockroaches, or sketchy people walking around. The location is great, especially with the new shopping center built right behind the Government Center. The good outweight the bad easily and people should learn to be a little more tolerable to make it easier for everyone. It really is a good place and if not make use of the guarantee they have - 30 days to test it out.
