Woon er al sinds 2018.. hele nieuwe aanwas aan inwoners. Niet de “oude” spoorbuurt types.. hartstikke gezellige wijk met voldoende faciliteiten. Niet té maar wel leuk in de omgang met alle buurtjes.
Auto-translated to English by AINare buurt. Veel wantrouwen tussen de bewoners. Veel geluidsoverlast dag en nacht. Veel straatvuil. Mensen zetten vuil naast de ondergrondse afval containers. De angst regeert. Mensen spreken elkaar niet aan op gedrag. Voortuinen vol tegels. De huizen zijn oud en gehorig.

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.
