Very many unsafe situations in my neighbourhood. More police needed.
Auto-translated to English by AIMany homeless people, and cars that think it's a racetrack. Bikes on the pavement, fatbike misery. Little or none. Respect from people. People should just throw their rubbish in the bins. And people here shouldn't put their rubbish bags by the underground container when it's full.
