I for one, call it cowardly. If one is really this upset with the amount of noise people make then they better confront them personally… this is simply cowardly, especially hiding behind the “the community” signature… thus dragging in people that don’t even care.
What kind of pathetic wretch someone needs to be to sign letter as community 🙂 It ain’t bunzli, it’s just coward hiding.
As a super-Bünzli myself I denounce this allegation strongly. This is not bünzli, this is a coward, and pointing out a race doesn’t make it better.
No, the writer of the “complaint” letter is the kind of coward asshole that exist in every culture, race, ethnicity etc. I agree that Swiss people often try to avoid confrontation, but I observe this in other countries as well.
And adding my personal racist comment: Asian neighbors in general are much quieter than my Swiss neighbors, especially those insisting on having BBQ with friends and families during these times. ! I have a particular neighbor in my mind that I would trade immediately….The response is glorios though….
I wonder if anyone got in touch?
This sort of approach to resolving neighbourhood problems boils my piss. When I first came to Switzerland in the 80s, I lived in a block and one of the neighbours, Rita, was Norwegian. She dragged people out of their flats once a month for a joint Sunday brunch in the car park. Finally, almost everyone took part. She explained that she was from Finnmark, and there she was happy to have had any neighbours at all, and she had no time for people who hid behind their curtains. A nice approach, although I have not got the courage to try it myself.
So you assume it was a Bünzli but that letter is written in almost perfect English. You have to get *your* prejudices in order.
The proper Büenzli response would be to show that letter to the commune and police, so that they know what sort of letters are being written – in the name of others, as I sincerely doubt the entire Voltastrasse neighbourhood agreed to be represented in such a manner.
No, I’m pretty sure that’s just a top-level-Bünzli move. They’d have posted the same letter regardless of nationality I suppose, they’d just have adjusted the description from “Chinese” to whatever would’ve suited the case.
Not the slightest bit more sympathetic, but I don’t think racist is the term to call it. If you want to counter-bünzli them, I’d call the police to show them the letter, I’m pretts sure they’re gonna find an “Ordnungswidrigkeit” that has been violated by this.
I’m going to walk there and play basketball with them, from a socially acceptable distance obviously
I am surprised that it is not written in german with some swiss words that no dictionary is able to translate.
They will “report to Livit and the police… “
As if Livit would give a fuck… everyone in Switzerland is super afraid of the “Hausverwaltung”. Like uuuuuhhh… if the Hausverwaltung finds out you broke rule 32 on the Hausordnung they will rip your balls off.
No they won’t…
They just send out their standard letter and hope people will stop bothering them. If things get really bad they might send their second standard letter.
…and the police enforces the law… not the Hausordnung.
Very good answer, well written and on point.
I know many retired assholes think children are not allowed to play because they live somewhere close. It’s a wonder they managed to live for so long. They think they speak for everyone because they lived there forever.
Now if the guy had complained about those assholes roaring their modified motors all afternoon long in the street… that’s a nuisance.
Hahahahaha this guy really thinks livit gives a shit
Why did they write it in English though??
Voltastrasse Lucerne?
Voltastrasse is not exactly a quiet street? Lots of students, no?

Besides the “chinese family” this is how i always know most other swiss people. Wherever i lived. They call the police, make a note somewhere which is obvious who is meant. Or you hear from a thirth party about what was “wrong”.
“He häsch gseh, dä det!”
Füdlibürger … yea : racists !
What an asshole
Poor guy got a decent, wellpayed job that also included a flat. But they didn’t tell him the flat was located in a vivid neighbourhood where lots of joyful people live. I hope they’ll find a house at Bruderholz soon, so that they can finally live the boring aristocratic life they deserve.
God bless the Swiss and their passive aggressive nature.
Wieso redet jede englisch😂
Wow, I can really relate to this. Because two weeks ago I got a letter on my doorstep from my neighbor that my kids are playing to loudly and he will consider to call the police etc.
He did not even the balls to talk with me in person.
The best way to deal with this passive aggressive shit is to just ignore it. As long as you are following the “Ruhezeiten” there is no legal grounds to not allowing your kids to play.
fucking racists…
“The community”.. suuure
Here in Ticino you’d never see something like this. If someone’s making too much noise, you’ll just hear people screaming out their windows at each other to shut up.
Although even that’s pretty rare, people don’t seem to mind the noise too much here.
Ah, the Swedes are not the only ones who leave angry notes.
Ja bitte lüt doch de Polizei ah.
„Sie da hets chinde wo basketball spieled… AMENE SUNNTIG!!!“
Its written in english…?
In Basel we have a saying to properly react to those “complaints”: Tschöss Chill! 😉

I take my hat off to the respondent.
[Why didn’t this Chinese family do something when their children where playing so loud? Didn’t they feel that Hanspeter is looking at them angrily for at least 5 minutes…](https://previews.123rf.com/images/camrocker/camrocker1305/camrocker130500193/19637132-a-mature-man-in-his-50-s-with-an-angry-stare-.jpg)
