From our comments
“Have you ever been at the intersection of Seidel and Avalon when Horizon HS gets out? It’s crazy, not to mention there is literally no cell service between the 429 exit and Summerland Groves st. I definitely second them needing to expand infrastructure & such out there”
“What’s 50% to 100% of the median salary for the area?”
