A fascist neighbourhood that claims to be left-wing. Poorly maintained streets. Everywhere there is vomit, glass, and rubbish. Dirty pavements, graffiti everywhere, every street suffers from a huge nuisance of students. Students overpopulate the area. No diversity, too expensive shops. Only rich white people. Social inequality is clearly visible here. 1000 metres away in Overvecht people have nothing, here in abundance. Full of snobs. Social housing is only 6 percent, deliberately sold off, all homes are being split: unliveable, too much noise, and expanded with extra floors. People earn an average of 6-10,000 per month and look like tramps. There is no cohesion, people are focused on themselves, all islands. The atmosphere is gone. It was once a beautiful neighbourhood, but yuppies, damn students and damn expats have turned it into a white enclave of coke-sniffing egotrippers.
