Beautiful neighbourhood full of renewal

Many developments in the neighbourhood with new construction and renovations. As for safety, it's very fluctuating here, with the occasional stabbing/shooting. Very often rubbish is just thrown next to the container since you now pay per lid operation, but before that it was just as bad.

generally boring

In a quiet neighbourhood where everyone knew each other, a family had just moved in. They had high expectations of their new area, but soon began to experience problems. The first night they were kept awake by noisy neighbours who partied until late at night. They thought it was a one-off incident, but it happened time and again. When they politely asked the neighbours to be a bit quieter, they were ignored.
