I just spent a week in brussels and what stood out to me was how everyone I talked to who lived there seemed to really resent the city but all of them moved there from other countries to work for the eu, so now I am curious what belgians think of the city?

Well I haven't ever lived in Brussels so I can't speak on how living there actually is. I also don't visit too often bc people main motivation is visiting a big city with lots to do but I live in the other big city with lots to do so I only go for like specific expo's.

But I can say what people who I know main motivation is to move there - want to get better at French by using it daily - want to spend a few years in a big city before settling down - they also work for the EU

Main motivations to move back out: - Tired of it after a few years - rent

So yeah I think it's a bit like with any European capital that there's lot's to do and see but it burns you out after a while. And if you're visiting you also have the prices for food and drinks and everything typical for a capital city.

Personally I also feel like the other large Belgian cities are nicer bc there is more of a local environment, the majority of the people living there are either born there or identify enough with the city that they as well might be. If there are too many expats you lose that a bit, especially if they're living there because they 'have to' (job-wise)

Brussels does have areas that do still feel like that tho! So I do enjoy these parts. Areas like the Marollen have clearly have their own thing going on. But the center center, again like with every capital city, it doesn't really belong to the people who actually love living there anymore.

Two people are seriously injured following a shooting in the Marollen District, a working class area in the City of Brussels. Police believe the shooting may be a settling of accounts among drug-traffickers.  The two shooters fled the scene.

It was around 6PM on Sunday that shots rang out in the Lacaillestraat not far from Halle Gate and the South Station.  Police confirmed two people, who were badly hurt, were rushed to hospital.  The police believe two shooters fired the shots.  The two shooters are on the run, but police are on their tails.  What exactly triggered the shooting is unclear, but police have little doubt it is linked to drug-trafficking or drug-dealing.

Brussel | Wandeling naar de Marollen en Zavel

Donderdag, 26 augustus 2021 | De wandeling van vandaag gaat naar de oudste volksbuurt van Brussel, de Marollen en daarna terug. De wandeling verloopt overigens niet helemaal volgens plan omdat we in de Metro op de verkeerde metrolijn zijn overgestapt. In plaats van in de buurt van de Marollen uit te komen kwamen we aan de andere kant van het Brussel-Schelde kanaal uit en zodoende werd de…
