Auto-translated to English by AIFrom a pleasant neighbourhood it has changed to unfortunately no longer a safe, clean neighbourhood. There is absolutely more supervision needed, not just to fatten the tax coffers with so many expensive car checks, seizures/confiscations. Nuisance from loitering youths, racing at 80-100 on a 50 road... road blockades with cars at the height of the playground. As a result of various developments, more shops are often empty. Or only more foreign barbershops come, likewise mobile phone shops fill up. Hope that with the "major renovation" new construction also gets attention for safety and nature.
Auto-translated to English by AIA nice neighbourhood. Lots of social control Parking is a bit busy
