Auto-translated to English by AIA very unfriendly and unsafe environment for both adults and children. Every month there is a woman/girl raped, people shooting wildly, or a burglary. It is not recommended to go outside after dark. Neighbours don't greet each other and there is always tension between neighbours. Children who tear up flowers/plants. Parents who say nothing about it.
Auto-translated to English by AIThis part little nuisance Neighbours looking out for each other Still togetherness and cosiness
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a cosy neighbourhood that's quickly deteriorating, but people still look out for each other. It's a working-class neighbourhood. A shame it's so dirty, etc. But I'm staying. The municipality should deploy more litter pickers, etc., and possibly increase fines for littering.
