How residents experience their neighbourhood
I have a good experience with my neighbourhood. Everything is within walking or cycling distance. Lots of students and young families, very nice. It's always lively, but not (too) busy. Just a relaxed atmosphere. Sometimes it feels a bit unsafe in the evening, I think that's because of the homeless people who then move out of the city centre. I find that less pleasant.

Auto-translated to English by AII lived here for 25 years with great pleasure, but in recent years it has become very different. Previously, everyone knew each other and greeted each other. For the elderly, the front path was cleared when it snowed, errands were done, etc. If I hadn't seen someone for a while, I would go and ask how they were. And now... you hear that people lie dead in their homes for 4 weeks and no one notices. Pff, but luckily I'm not like that and I remain loyal to my neighbourhood and go and check in. But unfortunately, the sense of community is completely gone. Now new people move in and you don't even know their names. Very sad. I wish the old days could come back.
