Life in the Tarwewijk

Thanks to the rent law, there are fewer slumlords and more and more families. It sometimes still has a bad reputation, but that is undeserved except for a few streets." Another resident mentions that it can be busy at night but is usually quiet during the day, and that pollution around overflowing bins is a problem.
