Boring boxy houses

Luckily I look out onto the water and live on a nice street with attentive neighbours, we help each other. People could however maintain their street better and put bikes in the shed instead of by the door.

The neighbourhood has been going downhill for a few years. Things are being stolen and property vandalised. The Voorstraat is not being maintained well or at all.
