Auto-translated to English by AIUnfortunately, more and more hassle! More and more different people are moving in, it's becoming impersonal, more houses packed together, more unkempt gardens, a shame! Accessibility is fine, we have shops, a library around the corner! Also a bus station nearby. And the greenery in this neighbourhood is beautiful, you can enjoy walking here! If you want to see it! It's a pity that many people, young and old, don't want to clean up their own rubbish properly!
