This neighbourhood is deteriorating; people are increasingly less willing to keep their own street clean. And from the municipality you can expect absolutely nothing. A small patch of grass that is used as a poop field for dogs. And on the other side of our house, the Houthaven quay is being built. Away sun, away freedom; the flats are so close that we have to sit with the curtains closed.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's not really safe in the neighbourhood in the evenings. When there has been a market, it often takes another day before it's cleaned up. In my complex, only foreign people live, so I have little contact with the neighbours.
