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: We love our tree canopies and how it creates shaded walking spaces. Further overcrowding the area creates way too much traffic in an already busy street. Betweeen where I live and where I go t work, the neighborhood becomes less white and more minority and the resources do not seem to be evenly distributed as these demographics change. Once Briarcliff changes to Moreland, there becomes less tree canopies, more fast food restaurants, less well kept side walks and liquor stores / pawn shops and less schools / recreational space.
