There are many different factors that can cause mental and physical health problems or even emotional stress in a person. Vista Alegre residents sometimes have no choice but to walk to the grocery store. This doesn't sound unhealthy, but Arizona's high temperatures tend to dehydrate people more quickly. The neighborhood is also not safe as there is no public security available. There are also no light poles, which can create a dark environment. Vista Alegre housing is not gated, preventing residents from feeling safe in their own homes.
