Neighbourhood is deteriorating rapidly. More control by municipalities or police, but unfortunately that is not done.

It keeps getting worse, lots of loiterers, both in the evening and at night, rubbish is thrown everywhere, bags are not collected so rats run over them, homeless people in the building, people urinate everywhere. It's too sad for words there.
