I said it already
Auto-translated to English by AIPartly due to nuisance from next-door neighbours (which borders on harassing behaviour), I feel powerless against negative behaviour and intimidation from others. There are genuinely friendly people, but due to the decline of this neighbourhood, you see/sense that people live on islands. Little genuine involvement or social behaviour from others, little empathy or taking responsibility for one's own behaviour, aggression/aggressive behaviour, and that makes the living environment (also indoors) offer little to no safety. I write from daily experience and it is sickening. The housing shortage and rules offer no other escape options. Very sad.
