Auto-translated to English by AIHave lived here for 43 years. Since the completion. It used to be a cosy, friendly neighbourhood. Now you could lie dead in your house and no one would notice. I'm from Amsterdam and I'm not used to this. Here it's every man for himself and God for us all.

Auto-translated to English by AIVery nice neighbours, good contact. Nice by the water. Only the youth is less. Breaking things, noise nuisance, drug bags on the ground (while walking the dog), setting off fireworks, teasing the dog, not cleaning up mess. Green a colourful verge with many poisonous plants for animals and people. Many social housing homes very damp, lots of mould, cracks in the walls, not insulated. Drains always blocked.
