The polar bear quiet neighbourhood, only sometimes it's too quiet. Furthermore, I think the lawns and playgrounds in the neighbourhood are heavily neglected.

Nuisance from fatbikes
Auto-translated to English by AIKamelenspoor is generally a very nice neighbourhood to live in, especially during the day. Everyone greets each other politely and respects the norms and values of others in the area. This gives a safe and pleasant feeling. Only in the evening everything changes, because a lot of loitering youth come onto the street, causing nuisance in dark spots, making those spots feel unsafe at night. Furthermore, it's a shame that more and more rental houses are appearing in the neighbourhood; this brings different ethnicities, which can sometimes clash a bit, which is of course unfortunate. I would also like to see more nature here, because now there are a few patches of grass and some trees, so a bit more green space would be nice. The housing is fine here, it's just a shame that as soon as you step out the door you can immediately look into someone else's garden or be looked into yourself; you never really have privacy. Otherwise, it's really a nice and cosy neighbourhood.
