Don't dare to go outside in the evenings anymore
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's always safe during the day, but walking the streets at night in the dark is impossible as a woman. Also often seen police chases near shopping centre Nova. Housing is good. More and nicer greenery would improve the neighbourhood. As would making it car-free and banning mopeds.
