The other thing that kind of came up during that period, too, was that Saugus did an awareness for “Black Lives Matter.” We walked with our dog all the way through Saugus for that.

There’s a lot of young families that came into the neighborhood. I think the price range for houses in my neighborhood is affordable. Working families can get their feet into a place.

Q: Anything else special about the precinct? A: We have Stocker Park, which is on the river, and it’s a place where people like to walk their dogs, and we have a large number of dog walkers.
