  1. City hall is closed off, it says authorized personnel only.
  2. Garbage piling up in the streets.
  3. It’s too hot in the summer.
  4. Why do they allow helicopters to fly over the city?

  6. Some parts smell really bad, especially garbage.
  7. Hotel rooms are too small.

    3. Paradise garage shut down.

The #1 thing I don’t like is that I don’t live here.
