Mooi, gezellig, perfect

Mooiste buurt van Heusden. Ben blij om hier te mogen wonen. Kei aardige mensen, kei gezellige winkels en de vliedberg heeft veel karakter. Het is altijd mooi om buiten te zijn in het mooie vliedberg.

mooi wonen

Ik heb een voldoende gegeven omdat naar mijn idee het goed wonen is in mijn buurt alle voorzieningen zijn op loopafstand bereikbaar. wonen net buiten het centrum en toch wonen midden in de stad. station op vijf minuten. gemeente die regelmatig straten veegt, zuigt en bepanting onderhoud. een onvoldoende voor gemeenschap, ik kom uit een dorp ons kent ons. hier zijn mensen toch veel meer op zichzelf. er weinig sociale controle wat enerzijds mooi is, maar anderzijds kan je dus ook makkelijk week dood in huis liggen. ik geeft dit onvoldoende omdat ik er zelf misschien wek mee worstel van waar de juiste balans moet liggen. ik heb groen negatief beoordeeld omdat er weinig mogelijkheden zijn om in het groen te wandelen in de stad, en omdat men bijna alle bankjes in het groen heeft weg gehaald.
