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 made of a mixture of both older and young adults. Many of the younger adults have growing families This once thriving community is experiencing a period of decline. It is distressing to see the many properties that have been purchased by Memorial Hospital being left in a state of blight with overgrown lawns and shrubs. These properties are a magnet for the accumulation of debris. The properties that are occupied, are Section 8 with tenants who are showing very little regard for where they live. This is not the ideal place to live, but it is home. Leaders should not only address issues in the more affluent areas of this fine city, but also in areas like this.

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: There are many historical churches in my community that organize events such as food distributions. They do their best to help community members. However, that is not enough. This area is being left behind. There are barely any resources for the children creating the need for after school programs. But the only outlet is the park that was recently built and children are afraid to go there. Savannah is filled with major arts attractions, culture, and history, but it is very hard to believe that from here.

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: Many of the people in my community are on Section 8. And some others are experiencing a high unemployment rate. From the way it is now, it is hard to imagine any positive growth developing in this area.

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: My community needs better concern from our leaders. Presently it is being allowed to languish into greater blight, day by day. We have a need for better social services that will address its existing condition. It is really hard to say what we expect to receive from the Redistricting process, except that we want to have fair lines drawn that will bring us a benefit. We want to be able to choose leaders of our choice who will show some genuine concern for our community. The needs are many and we need leaders who care.
