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: There are a variety and large amount of grocery stores where I live (wholesale, organic, low-cost). I have not noticed the frequency or type of schools in my area. There is one bus route within my neighborhood. There aren't any libraries nearby, I have to travel quite a ways to get to one. Currently, there is a park being built in my neighborhood (it looks to have water feature) but other than that there aren't many parks. Right across the street is a hospital and other medical buildings, my whole area has a lot of medical facilities. There are a few places of worship for me within driving distance. There aren't many local nonprofits near me.

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 aren't many community centered opportunities near me, mostly business and medical. Nearby there are some Buddhist Temples in Chinatown. My neighbors are very diverse in race, mostly early 30's to retirement age, and unfortunately I haven't been able to interact with them to know what is the language most spoken. There aren't any museums or galleries nearby, the only cultural thing worth mentioning is that I live near Chinatown. I do know that several of my neighbors are DREAMERS.

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: Across the street from my neighborhood are some very expensive houses. My neighbors are a mix of different incomes, I had some neighbors get evicted due to job loss during the pandemic. The majority of them work in the service industry. I live in a clean neighborhood, there aren't any polluting industries. Drinking water quality is good but my concern is water quantity. The quality of the roads is good. There isn't much construction in community, there is some near the park that's almost done.

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: Water Conservation incentive programs to replace lawn with water conservative landscapes. Crime is also something that I would like addressed. I have seen that they are working on the crime in my area, so I appreciate that. Something missing from where I live, is community support and community related things. I feel like I only live in my area, I have to travel longer than necessary distances in order to attend community events or any community resources. There isn't much of a feeling of community. I have concern over rate of rent increases as well.
