Local perspective:
A neighbor, Savier Rodriguez, told FOX 13 that his neighborhood is quiet and safe.
“It’s just not what we were expecting at all in this neighborhood. Everybody looks out for everybody. All the neighbors look out for each other,” Rodriguez said. “Nobody expected this. It’s been super quiet for the last ten years. The last year or two, as they’re building around it, it’s not been as quiet, but still private roads. So quiet streets, quiet neighbors.”
