Don't think the neighbourhood is clean and too many immigrants together in one area and police regularly appear, that's not for nothing
Auto-translated to English by AILiving in this neighbourhood for over 35 years and have seen a lot of negative changes over the years. It was always a peculiar neighbourhood in many respects. But there was still something like a sense of community. But now that everyone is more to themselves and has less (good) contact with neighbours, my feeling of safety has noticeably decreased.
Auto-translated to English by AIIn the past the neighbourhood was cleaner and people maintained the front gardens and pavements better, also the children just throw everything on the street
