Auto-translated to English by AII study in another city so I'm not home very often. But it does feel like my place and I feel comfortable at home. There's just quite a lot of litter that stays everywhere and sometimes blows into front gardens. I don't know what causes it. Also, the patches of ground could use some attention, mainly tall weeds and dry grass.
