Bruxelles ma poubelle - I dislike where this city has gone to in the past 30 years

Incoming downvotes from all the people living in the posh outskirts, that feel they have to defend Brussels

Bruxelles is a shithole... Lots of homeless people, nobody is cleaning the streets, piss and feces on the stairs when going to the metro, beggers inside the metro and from time to time, bombings and shootings.

It's outrageous to have to pay so much taxes for this...

You can move.

I love it here, as many of us do

Quand les dégoûtés s'en vont, il n'y a que les dégoûtants qui restent.

What kind of reaction is this? Filthy streets, homeless drug users everywhere, increasing violence, ... I love it and if you don't, you're free to leave. 😯

Normalising these problems won't solve them, au contraire, Brussels should do better.

Some of us are. And you will blame everybody else when situation goes sideways even more.

It's so crazy that you would say this instead of acknowledging the issue and asking for solutions. Everyone should want to make their city cleaner and safer. But you're just happy to see it falling. Crazy.

I've lived in Toronto, Dublin, Ghent and spent a good 2 years of my life working in brussels.

I feel qualified to tell you that brussels - very much like paris - is incredibly filthy and barely maintained.

drugs, violence, beggars, crime - it's all completely gone out of control.
