Chaotic

Many refugees have come to our street who unfortunately cannot behave normally. The children climb over our fence and stand in the front garden taunting our dog, while the mothers sit inside and after 5 years still cannot speak Dutch.

Neighbourhood that is there when others need it

Our neighbourhood considers everyone and is there for each other. But more parking space would be nice.
