Nice neighbourhood to grow up in
Auto-translated to English by AIQuiet neighbourhood where people of all ages live. A primary school and a shop. But also (especially in summer) nuisance from youths with a lot of noise and fireworks, while there are many dogs here. And it's not youths from this neighbourhood.

Auto-translated to English by AIIt used to be a very quiet, friendly neighbourhood but is rapidly deteriorating. Now there is rubbish everywhere, wrecked scooters, discarded fridges, printers, old garden chairs, etc. A lot of nuisance from "campers" with loose pitbulls. Arson, fights, etc.
