It's a reasonably quiet neighbourhood. But there is absolutely no social contact.
Auto-translated to English by AII quite like it there
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is restless and there is often rubbish on the street. And by restless I mean that in November fireworks go off at night and people often hang around on the street until late. There is a snack bar and several shops in the area. However, there is a lot of hassle, for example with the sewerage that needs to be repaired. When residents report this, it sometimes takes months before anything is done about it, and even then it is not done properly. More police are also needed in the neighbourhood.
