Cohesive with exceptions

My neighbourhood is always very friendly, except for a few. However, there are only a few facilities for children. There are plenty of shops in the area, but elsewhere there is very little to do. There is only one small nature area nearby, and I find that a shame because I always enjoy a nice walk in the neighbourhood. I hope more green spaces can be added to the district. I also notice that since the hedges in the back gardens have disappeared and been replaced with fences, fewer and fewer birds are flying through the neighbourhood. I find that a shame too.

Working-class neighbourhood

A real working-class neighbourhood. People are there for each other when something happens. Too bad there are too few rubbish bins near, for example, apartment buildings. There are cigarette butts everywhere.

Cosy working-class neighbourhood

In my neighbourhood, people are there for you when you need them. If the litter were cleaned up, it would look a lot better.
