Few problems here. Only parking on the street is difficult.
Auto-translated to English by AIFew problems here. Last armed robbery at the Chinese takeaway was about 10 years ago, I think. And the boss of the kebab shop on the corner of the street was arrested for drug trafficking, also years ago. They are doing a major renovation on a building two houses down from me. I'm curious what will go in there.
