Environment

This is what my environment is like. I am usually surrounded by family and we love to watch television together. I live with my boyfriend and we have a one bedroom apartment in San Leandro. My neighbors are single families and they are all very modest and kind. We live in an area that looks peaceful and is very close to the 580 west freeway. The Bayfair Mall is five minutes away and I walk to the bart every morning. I believe that we live in a convenient area because everything can be accessed within the same area. I would consider my home "feng shui" because it brings balance, tranquility, relaxation, and peace to our lives. We always look forward to going home because it is a place where we are comfortable and a place to bond us and our families together. - Jackie

I live in Sobrante Park in Oakland. It's not as bad as people say it is, no there isn't shooting every night, but there is shooting. Sobrante Park is mixture of beauty and crap, flowers and trash. THe people here are pretty friendly, always saying hello when you walk by.
