First of
all I live in El Bosque, Santiago, near to the air force school. I like to live
there, but obviously I would like to change some things about my neighbourhood.
The highs
of where I live are: first, I live in a house. I don’t like apartments because
you can’t have a neighbourhood life. You don’t know the people who live next to
you and you don’t have much space (Santiago’s apartments are very tiny!).
Second, I don’t have to deal with noise pollution (something common here in the
downtown). And third, I have a park close from where I live (like 2 blocks from
my house).
The lows of
my neighbourhood are related with two things: first, the facilities. My university is in the downtown or if I want to buy something in the
supermarket I have to take a bus to get there. The security it’s a huge problem too,
because there are drug dealers near my house (the funny thing about it is that
everybody in the neighbourhood knows who these people are because they live
there). Thiefs are a problem too. I like my neighbourhood, but it needs to be
safer for the people who live there.

ReplyDeleteI don't like the life in a apartment either. They seem insecure to me in case of a earthquake, even when they're very common in this country... But what you said about living in a house, that it let you live closer to your neighbours, I think it depends on the neighbourhood. If its a place insecure, they would never be a community. You can see that when they began building houses with big walls in front of them.
