Polluted, restless neighbourhood!

People with a low level of education who are on welfare and may or may not earn extra cash under the table. They have no understanding for people with a disability. People who swear at you and have a big mouth, and rubbish is dumped, making the street dirty. Not a neighbourhood for people with autism, Down syndrome, etc., because if you have that, you're made out to be crazy while they don't even really get to know you. And a lot of antisocial behaviour here, which creates an unsafe living environment. The housing association should be honest about the fact that Heilust is known as a deprived area. I was told this by mental health services when I already lived there. I would have liked to know about the situation before I moved in, because now, as a woman with autism, I'm stuck in a hopeless situation that I can no longer cope with. Heemwonen is very unfriendly to customers. That should be much better.
