Your response: I notice many of my neighbors are construction workers, mechanics, and teachers. My area is mainly residential.

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: A lot of what is lacking where I'm at is accessibility by walking. Walking to the park, school, the store, or anywhere is not really possible. There is a lot of overcrowding at my children's school. I have chosen to educate them from home virtually as a result of this.
