How residents experience their district
The neighbourhood is dirty, rubbish is everywhere. Despite there being very nice people who really try their best. There is a majority who throw everything on the street. People need to be made more aware of this.

How residents experience their municipality
very nice and beautiful neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AII'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 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.
