How residents experience their district
I've lived here for almost 30 years. It used to be pleasant: clean, good contact with neighbours, etc. But due to the steady influx of Muslims, the neighbourhood is going downhill. Lots of litter lying around, misuse of rubbish bins (throwing all sorts next to them), not being open to contact, their children breaking things... in short: they have no connection with the neighbourhood and its residents. It creates an unpleasant atmosphere..
Auto-translated to English by AINeighbours never say anything to others, it seems as if no one lives there and no one is cheerful, actually it seems as if they don't see the point in life at all or have problems in their family or household which they show, maybe also financial problems. There is a playground further down where no one sits anymore and there is a neighbourhood team and coffee afternoon in the area which is seriously unsafe because of the people who constantly gossip about each other, I hope the coffee afternoon stops immediately!
Auto-translated to English by AII think the neighbourhood is well laid out in terms of the (house/apartment) distribution. Additionally, I believe the neighbourhood has improved in terms of building different types of homes on the same land. Finally, the amount of street lighting is pleasant when it's dark for a good and safe overview.
Auto-translated to English by AINeighbourhood is going downhill. Little maintenance of the old houses and the surrounding area. Lots of traffic on the street, police drive by every now and then. Little contact with neighbours, living past each other. Will be glad when I'm out of here.

Auto-translated to English by AISad people have no life, they ruin others' lives
Auto-translated to English by AIBy lively I mean that there are many hip young people living here and there are many amenities and infrastructure in the neighbourhood, but it is anonymous because people don't really know each other. You live there and know your neighbours, but you don't really know your neighbours' neighbours. Many people move often.
