I am very satisfied
Auto-translated to English by AIMany fatbikers who run you over or knock the creases out of your trousers, there still needs to be more enforcement on that. Cars racing through the street as if it's Zandvoort! Shared scooters parked everywhere on the pavement. Many residents here are visually impaired; this is simply life-threatening for this group. A trip by ambulance to the hospital costs more than parking that scooter somewhere safe. The housing corporations need to better maintain/insulate the homes for the exorbitant rent they charge! The trees in the street need to be pruned/trimmed. On a gloomy day, we have the lights on by 3 PM, so high energy bills! More activities should be held in the shopping centre. The rents for the shop premises are far too high, there is a lot of vacancy!
