We love our neighbors and the true sense of friendship and community we enjoy with them.

But like you say, nowhere's perfect. Defensive driving is absolutely required like no place I have ever seen. The traffic and the crowds up around the 6's keeps getting worse.

I think people are only as happy as they want to be. I believe if you can't be happy here you pretty much won't be happy anywhere.
I think it is funny you mention the traffic and the driving..........I have been here in Feb march and now moved here and I have to say the driving is great compared to arizona and all the red light runners and people who think side streets are race tracks this aint NOTHIN
