 POST PROBLEMS OF YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD (PAGE 10)

I'm tired of this neighborhood. There aren’t many taxis and I take 1 hour to get
out of here. We need more public transportation. Everyone at home must have
a car to be able to go to the supermarket.
There are only fast food restaurants, and this is bad for health. In some houses
the water goes and spends hours without water. But many houses have tanks
of water reserves and it doesn't matter if there's water.
There is no health center in San Isidro. We need more public hospitals for
children and adults in this area.
I'm happy because my neighborhood never has noise all the time.
