Ghetto life

Given the alarming increase in housing of non-Dutch people, our living environment has deteriorated from a peaceful, leafy residential community to a visibly depopulated ghetto of cultures that do not want to assimilate with the native Dutch residents. The area is becoming polluted, and in the evenings it is dangerous to go out for a walk. Children are rude to criminal, making the area unsafe with fatbikes.
