Experiences from Roelofarendsveen
How residents experience their neighbourhood
Most people end up here because they can't find housing in Leiden, Alphen and surrounding areas. But you wouldn't wish this on anyone, no facilities, childcare is full so children go to school in neighbouring municipalities because there is childcare there. You can walk the dog on a strip of verge, nowhere a nice field to be seen let alone a place where they can burn off their energy. Young people have nothing so they regularly vandalise things, every weekend there are fireworks or other nuisance. People are mainly 'bothered' by each other but that's because they are deeply unhappy. The national parking standard is applied in the new housing estates so tough luck if you don't have a space and you'll quickly get a parking ticket. Tyres are slashed, cars scratched and a lot of nuisance from children/young people. Stay away if you can!

Experiences from Kaag en Braassem
How residents experience their municipality
When I moved here, it was a quiet neighbourhood. Now at this moment it's becoming a villa district with many outsiders. These people seek no connection with the neighbourhood. Eccentric and conceited. In the past there were layers of the population, now everyone is equal, often even a step higher. Very unfortunate. Quietly situated at the back of houses. With water at the doorstep. Which according to some posh residents is worth a fortune. I've lived here for 19 years tonight, now I'm 68 years old. No shops, no bus service. You have to do everything by car or bike. The other villages are five kilometres away. 5 km Leimuiden, 5 km Kudelstaart, 8 km from Ter Aar. There could be something better; choose to live rurally. In the very beginning the old guard still lived here, now only people from outside.
