Use these questions to think more about how you would describe your community...
  - Where do people in your community gather or socialize?
  - How and where does your community access services (healthcare, transportation, educational services, etc.)?

Examples of activities and services: Shopping areas, schools and universities, libraries, parks, lakes, rivers, places of worship, healthcare services, public transport, local nonprofit organizations, etc.

Your response: My community is social and philanthropic, we like to gather in places like parks, plazas, restaurants, and cultural spaces. We like to bike and take transit to our destinations, patronize our local businesses, and support our neighborhood schools.

Use these questions to think more about how you would describe your community...
  - What are the cultural bonds in your community?
  - If your community has a shared history, what is it?

Examples of cultural or historical interests: Religious groups, ethnic groups, languages, age groups, immigration status, historic or arts districts, etc.

Your response: This community appreciates history, but also wants to confront and contextualize historical injustices that privilege some and penalize others. We strive for a progressive, inclusive, and thoughtful questioning of our assumptions and biases.

Use these questions to think more about how you would describe your community...
  - Where are residents employed?
  - If there are environmental concerns in your community, what are they?

Examples of economic or environmental interests: Tourism industry, agricultural workers, mining town, manufacturing center, polluted natural resource, unemployment problem, etc.

Your response: Almost everyone here is forced to drive because our public environment is dominated by space for private cars. People who can't afford cars lose out on economic opportunities because they are subjected to underfunded public transit and unconnected, unsafe non-vehicular walking and biking routes. Housing is expensive, but we turn over so much space for "free" to parking and moving cars.

Use these questions to think more about how you would describe your community...
  - What should politicians and/or map drawers know about your community?
  - What are the needs of your community?
  - Is there anything else you want to tell us about your community?

Examples of needs or concerns: Keep community in the same district or separate into multiple districts, shared policy concerns, need for a social service, relationship to other nearby communities, issues with current district lines

Your response: Districts are hard to understand because they always slice through neighborhoods in no logical way. They overlap municipal jurisdictions which makes understanding the regulations and politics even more convoluted.
