A few bad apples are spoiling the atmosphere in the street. People don't want to take others into account. Vandalism of other people's property. Bullying and humiliation. Excessive behaviour.
Auto-translated to English by AISocially worthless with an occasional exception here and there. And I specifically mean drug violence, vandalism, and the enjoyment of living. Grim atmosphere due to individual crime that apparently nothing can be done about. And a housing association that is too lax. Insufficient for lifetime-proof homes. Often too expensive, resulting in no flow-through. Poor maintenance. Speed restrictions in a residential area with playing children are worthless. Everything is ignored here, see complaints mentioned above. Stairlifts for people with very limited mobility are out of the question. Some have been waiting for years and simply cannot move. So health problems for this group. Damp and drafts, and sewage are the main issues. Many status holders in the village and these people are left like the rest with little help and support. Just slogging and struggling. Well, I see a whole list already.
