How residents experience their municipality
Very nice village with the downside that accessibility by public transport is poor.
Auto-translated to English by AIYes, Stadskanaal is nice to live in, everything is well organised and there's plenty to do if you also have a car, and it's nice and close to Germany. But the youth at school is a problem. Everyone is unkind to each other, they take relationships for just a few months at a time, and everyone talks behind each other's backs, and online they post things about each other, and speaking of which, I myself was posted online two days ago with a photo of me and my address included. But it's been taken down fortunately, but it's still a strange thing to do. But yeah, that kind of weird stuff happens here.

Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood has little contact with each other because people here are quite independent. Sometimes we do have contact, but that's just a small chat when we happen to run into each other. The only people you see/hear hanging out together here often abuse alcohol.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a boring neighbourhood, especially for young people.
Auto-translated to English by AIA nice neighbourhood where they do a lot together with BBQ parties or on Neighbour's Day is always super fun
