awful

I have never lived on a street that is so antisocial, dealers, girls who earn money and 3 or 4 families (households ruin the whole street, very sad. I still have to be able to cope with it, although I have bought myself 2 weapons. Because what it says about living quietly. Well, you can take 60,000 euros off that, it is not quiet. Your garden, car, etc. are regularly vandalised.

Nice living without looking out for each other!

Nice house, unfortunately too big for me now but little chance of a smaller house. Main road with lots of activity, pavement is too wide causing e.g. fatbikes to be dangerous. Plenty of amenities in the neighbourhood. I am socially involved and try to contribute through volunteering even though I am no longer allowed to work, I think in solutions and am a positive person. The immediate neighbours don't look out for each other, which I find very sad as I am not like that myself, but unfortunately I can't change people.
