A newcomer can appreciate a place while noticing something it could do better.

Enthusiasm and criticism get treated as rival loyalties, so a newcomer who mentions a rough edge sounds ungrateful and one who only praises sounds unserious. Fresh eyes are useful precisely because they can hold both at once. Someone who arrived last month still sees what everyone else stopped registering years ago.

If you are the new one, put the observation next to what you genuinely like about the place. If you have been there a while, hear the noticing as attention rather than as a complaint.
