Auto-translated to English by AINice neighbourhood with diverse ages. Good atmosphere, quiet, next to nature. Really nice to live
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's fine, but maybe a bit more cosiness
Auto-translated to English by AIA lovely little village to live in, everyone knows everyone culture. School, shops and swimming pool within walking distance.
Auto-translated to English by AILiving is pleasant, because of the space. The only thing I find annoying/negative is how incredibly fast cars drive here. There are also blind corners, it's sometimes scary to walk or cycle here.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's very cosy here and everyone is welcoming
Auto-translated to English by AISince I live alone, I constantly suffer from burglary and also the pulling up of my garden; there is no herb against it. I have been electrocuted, walked with a large bump for 2 years, and experienced worse things; the police act as if I'm making it up. All my valuables and memories of my family were stolen; I made a donation but have to provide proof. The foundation of my building has been pulled away so it's leaning, etc.; my curtains stolen, everything torn apart, even my clothes are ruined. Eventually the police did something about it and were friendly. After changing my lock 100 times, I discovered that someone climbs through the roof and there is a hatch from a roof point where I live below, where I had made my clothes storage; holes in a dress so I could be spied on. Yes, so sad, and someone who tells things to anyone who wants to hear, which I can't even think about what I do then. Disgusting people; his wife walked with the mail which was read first, and also through burglary my data was all within reach and everything was used; I was hacked and scammed. Eventually you realize that; really sickening, people without any empathy for others, materialistic. So first blacken someone and then no one sees anything, everything is fine. I keep to myself and focus on other things because I can't relate to this; also don't want to become angry, but this naturally costs nerves; still busy finding a solution with my nothing against pulling out windows, etc., opening windows, which was done later since the hatch is closed. Neighbors see nothing; the latest is that a step was made crooked so that when I climbed it, it fell, but I fortunately saved myself by grabbing a rebate. So my chair has a crooked leg, etc.; you can think of things they haven't touched. I had leaks for months and things soaked, and never got anything back from insurance, etc. This through roof climbing. Because of all this, I am in a scheme, and it hasn't become easier; on the contrary.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a fine neighbourhood. Safe, but the average age is also very high, which means there are no friends living nearby.
