Good, safe, friendly neighborhood
Auto-translated to English by AII moved here 3 years ago. There are nice people living here, but it's very cliquey, they struggle a bit with new people. Safety is somewhat lacking, and there is regular nuisance. This could definitely be looked into more strictly. If I get the chance to move, I would.
