Personally, I think it's a safe neighbourhood, but that's because I know where I can go and what I'm allowed to do. If I were new here, I wouldn't feel so safe. You can encounter strange people here and experience situations that don't happen just like that outside this area. There is a lot of crime, from young to old, and if you pay close attention, you can see a lot of it. On top of that, there is simply a lot of poverty here. I see more people on benefits than working, and with each year, more and more homeless people. I see that they are trying their best to modernise the city. They are doing quite well at that, but... take the Aurora flats, for example. They've painted them all nice colours now, but that doesn't mean you've removed the ghetto. The same junkies and dealers still live in the flats as before. And I still wouldn't recommend walking alone in the dark. I think Heerlen is becoming more modern every year, but it remains my crack neighbourhood. Accessibility is fine, but we still don't have things like e-scooters or e-steps. Tram or metro. I can understand the tram and metro, but we are really lagging behind when it comes to e-scooters, etc. A few years ago, we only got those bikes you can rent... and then they basically showed that we can't handle that responsibility at all here. We destroy everything here that has any money in it or doesn't belong to us.
