Have lived here for 43 years. Since the completion. It used to be a cosy, friendly neighbourhood. Now you could lie dead in your house and no one would notice. I'm from Amsterdam and I'm not used to this. Here it's every man for himself and God for us all.

Auto-translated to English by AIPleasant neighbourhood to live in, often rubbish is dumped, people think that bulky waste is collected every day. Furthermore, occasionally some loitering youths by the bridges but I haven't been bothered by that yet. Schools within walking distance, and plenty of green spaces.
