52 nationalities in one neighbourhood is impossible

Because too many nationalities live together who don't want to adapt to the Dutch, it's a neighbourhood with many problems

Nice neighbourhood, friendly social neighbours, it's wonderful to live here.

Good social people, always a chat if you live with dogs, very helpful if needed. The people are very approachable. Many dog lovers in the neighbourhood, met many nice people, you don't find this anymore in the big city. I'm very happy and grateful that we get to live here.

The centre

Very many so-called confused people in the neighbourhood under the influence of something. I think they should look at how to keep these kinds of people out of the neighbourhood as much as possible.

Friendly, cosy area. It could be even better if

It could be even better if outsiders took their own rubbish with them and didn't leave it behind in our bushes. Our law enforcement officers (police / community wardens) take no action and just drive on by. Then we're left with the mess.
