I think my neighbourhood is good in terms of my experience because all primary facilities like supermarkets, dentists or hospitals are just in the neighbourhood and easily accessible. Based on the people, I find it mediocre because some can be quite antisocial, for example they throw their rubbish everywhere, but there are still good ones among them. Lastly, waste management is fine, apart from the fact that rubbish is regularly thrown on the street, it is cleaned up by garbage men, but it would be good if street sweepers came more often because otherwise it keeps piling up.
Auto-translated to English by AISafety could be a bit better, lots of junkies and men displaying dangerous behaviour, especially at the gate and towards the arena.. very unfortunate as a woman or young child who just wants to play or get something to eat. Many homeless people use the public water fountains, which is not a problem at all, but given the fact that they probably don't shower or wash their hands, it's not exactly hygienic to make direct contact with the tap with your face or hands..
