  - 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 diverse urban community is made of people who are basically upper middle class workers and students. Living in an apartment complex does not present many opportunities for residents to get to really know each other. Socializing with other residents is not really a part of the apartment way of life because we mainly see each others in passing. We live only minutes away from historic downtown Savannah, Candler/St. Joseph's and Memorial hospitals, And the same goes for being in close proximity to many churches, 2 malls, parks, museums and other amenities. I like my community, and do not want to have it broken apart by Redistricting.

Your response: Historical downtown Savannah, which is a favorite of many tourists, is only minutes away with its many restaurants, museums, and other amenities. Also historic Savannah State College is a very short drive away.

  - Where are residents employed?

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

Your response: Many residents are employed by educational institutions, the City of Savannah, and private industry. Presently, there doesn't seem to be any shortage of jobs in this area. And that is a very good thing.

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: It would be wonderful to have a park nearby for the many children play. Also a recreation/resource center would further enhance the environment. We want leaders who will take these things into consideration. And I feel that breaking up this district will not accomplish that.
