The once beautiful working-class neighbourhood is now in decay, especially the part with only rental houses. Too much "a" social control: if you sell things from your home to different people, you're already labelled a drug dealer. The Noordewierweg, what a mess; at the front near the Opidium you can already tell that the streets along this road are not doing well. Subsidence has already been recorded, also by myself. Shops are disappearing, and if something comes back, it's only "I don't understand, I'm a refugee" vibe. Activities for the youth? The municipality of Amersfoort doesn't know; nothing is done about youngsters who mess things up or destroy things. Covered bus stops have been removed. Drug dealers are present in many places in the Soesterkwartier. Everything could be better.
