The missing piece to these overseas hood walks is not being able to connect with a trustworthy local that can share stories of the area. Once you have that sussed I think it'll blow up internationally
As a Norwegian who's moved to Australia, the sun going down really early in winter is awfully depressing, but then you have the sun up until like 1-2am in summer, which is absolutely euphoric, especially when you're young.
As a Romanian i must say that these flats are in a very good condition! In Romania in bigger cities there are flats full of mold, on some parts piece of the flat are falling of,inside the flat is full of rubbish,elevators not working all the time etc!
they have almost no excuse for the crimes they do. they live better than most eastern europeans and still think life forced them to shoot people xaxaxa
Yes, the cold weather and the laws and regulations in Sweden doesn't allow for buildings to become like what you describe. The living conditions has to be met and the municipal housing company has to repare if they want to rent out the flats in their building, and since there is a housing crisis and its hard to get a place for low income people and young people, there are no appartments empty to become moldy. The central heating is always on in the nordic countries.

@Shadow_ball The fuck? I can tell you one-hundred percent that gangs in Sweden will leave you alone so long as you don't fuck with them. Just like anywhere, steer clear of suspicious people, don't interact if you feel unsafe. You will NOT get shot or robbed in Sweden - that is exceptionally uncommon. they don't give a shit about "normal" people, only their gang opponents.
I know Australia must be so nice damn i wanna go. This place looks considerably better than where i am in the uk and its not government housing im in 😅
In Australia you will work 6 days a week .just to be able to live there..and Groceries are Very Expensive.....You will need to earn mega bucks to live well..England looks after people who have very little...
@@smitz7847private housing in Sweden can be worse than public housing. Public housing housing usually have a quite high lowest standard, whereas in private housing could find some really unserious owners.
I lived in Kroksbäck part of Malmö back in 2017. Never had any problems with Swedes or immigrants. My building was one of the concrete Soviet style, but it was nice, warm, quiet and clean. We even had wild rabbits coming into our building garden area and you could walk pas them and not scare them away. I loved all town and all of it, but my favorite place to go and chill was Limhamns beach area.
The place looks a lot nicer than any of the other hoods you've been to honestly, there's no garbage, things are taken care of, people are out with their kids and stuff, no people being weirdos, no random moto rats.
I actually live in Malmö and to give you a background about these houses, they were mostly built in the 1960s due to socialism taking over and the lack of housing during that century. They were actually considered nice areas to live in at first. Then after the economy got better people could move to better places and they got “replaced” by immigrants mostly from places like Balkan and Chile. So these areas slowly started to become poorer and poorer. Now especially after 2014, thousands and thousands of immigrants from the Middle East came here with no plan, education and lack of government policies. These areas all around Sweden are quite dangerous due to drug trafficking and gang wars. They very rarely target ethnic swedes. Malmö is still a top city to live in and the suburbs of Stockholm is now far worse…
@@Steppeni makes you wander who create these problems in said countries?? Noooo it can’t be the endless destabilisation and endless economic imperialism!! It’s that they don’t work hard enough to fix it!!!! Scumbag…
I had a feeling you were going to swing by Rosengård! Sadly I did not stumble upon you... I have been living here in Rosengård for whole my life which is comming up on 25 years now, really happy to see someone documenting my neighbourhood. At 24:53 when you had your ghetto senses tingeling I can assure you that those senses are 100% correct. That area is divided into different subgroups with specfic names. In example, the area where you stood at 24:53 is called the "zigenar gården" which in other words translates to the gypsy neighboorhood, as you mightve guessed the vast majority there are gypsies. Each block has its own name based on the ethnic majorty of the block and that area has always been regarded as the worst place in Rosengård. At 19:50 when you cross the bridge you clearly see the difference in how the neighbourhoods look. One side is more dark dull and while the other is more bright and vibrant. This really does translate into how safe the two areas are. Its as if the bridge is a representation of the divided safety of the area. The area with buildings with more bright color is regarded as the "safe" part of Rosengård. Its the place you would rather live in. As to your question regarding private housing, there are some in Rosengård but you headed away from the area. You were ca 3 minutes away from it when you were playing fotball! It very interesting to see an outside perspective of your own neighbourhood. For me things are normal and are changing for the better ofc, but then watching it from another persons perspective things really do seem depressing. Thank you for the documentary!
@@f.dmcintyre4666 Ive lived here for whole my life and had 0 problems with people. Ofcourse there are troublesome youth roaming around but which neighboorhood doesnt? If you keep to yourself as a normal human being you are just fine!
I started facepalming as soon as he entered that neighbourhood especially when he said something about the quality of those houses and that they are definitely 110% social houses. Makes me feel like he hasn’t seen too much in this world or was living in Nárnia.
He is a complete idiot obviously. Compare it to Norrebro, hipster area in Copenhagen. These exact areas exists basically everywhere in western Europe. In Denmark they have "ghetto laws", trying to tear down buildings because they consider things that bad.
Houses looks fine to me. They need to be cleaned. That’s about it. But yeah, they built to close to eachother. This is how most appartment houses looks like in Sweden. But not all areas has the same social issues. So, well that’s that. It is what it is.
Literally the same. He's just a clown that fell for that "worst neighborhood in Europe" PR stuff, came there for the content, saw an average European 1960-80 block and started making up shit to make "content"
I mean , its by no means beautiful houses when you get off the train, but "in that bad condition"? Perfectly working houses, intact, with all the amenetis.
He's saying this to make it sound dramatic. Swedish housing in Rosengard is great quality and well maintained despite the often self-destructive and anti-social people living in it. Why is he being dishonest. (BTW I am an architect who was a social housing manager making assessments of building condition)
It definitely isn't the nicest area in town, but it does look far less depressing in the summer. The first time I was there I was quite surprised that it looked much nicer than I thought it would. A bit of green can do a lot. A lot of the apartments aren't that bad on the inside either, but the commie block architecture isn't much to look at inside or out. Also kinda funny that you managed to pinpoint the worst part of the area just by looking at it :D
@@Aquelll Yup. I grew up in a small village in the middle of nowhere and we had the same kind of multi-story apartment houses... They were just not as tall or plentiful. :D
You should go to Marseille in france, I’m from the US and ive been to a lot of places in Europe and Marseille was the one place I genuinely felt unsafe, especially les quartiers nord
I'm French. Marseille is no longer a French city, it's all Arab-Muslim, it's dirty and dangerous. African and Arab-Muslim migrants have made French cities dirty and dangerous, and they are racist and hateful towards the West. I'm sad to see my country destroyed.
@@GrahamPaul-mj6lg As a Brussels resident, it really depends on where you are. The city has some amazing districts and neighborhoods that are quite safe and lovely to be in. There are others that aren't so much. If you look at a demographic map of the city, the segregation is pretty stark - between rich and poor, European and non-European. There are certainly areas that aren't great to be around at nighttime, but it's not the whole city. It's not perfect here by any means, but I really enjoy living here nonetheless.
marseille had a seedy reputation even before all the immigration with the mafia etc but now I can only imagine to bad because the setting of the city by the sea is quite nice....good food to.
I'm Swedish, And Rosengård was built in the 60s, Built above all for Swedes who wanted to get closer to bigger cities to work, including people from our neighboring countries. Rosengård, Rinkeby and similar areas were once fine and well-functioning areas, without crime and violence. The areas became dysfunctional at the rate of the large immigration from the Middle East and Africa. Sad but true.
yep, totally, if there is something wrong it is caused by inhabitants or political approach - houses itself are just typical mid 20th century apartment blocks, I really wasn't able to sport anything that bad about them.
Heard that explanation so many times before. Blame the immigrants or politicians..... its alot more complicated than that im afraid. But sure, political parties like SD likes to blame its opponent parties to gain points from the people for themselves. And ALL parties in one way or the other likes to blame the immigrants because its an easy get away an easy message too feed the people with. I'm so sick of this blame game that goes on in sweden.
@@yossigamaliel6976 Yeah you obviously know nothing about the politics in Sweden. Why do SD blame the opponent parties? Hmm...Could it be because they ruined the country for monetary gain? Multiculturalism has and will never work, when are people gonna get that through their fucking heads?

I recently worked as a security guard in Malmö and was stationed at Rosengård and their shopping mall. Crime occured on a daily basis with so much rasism against the Swedes. I'm not saying everyone there is bad, far from it. I've had several nice connections as well but it's overbearingly bad there due to the separate culture and lack of adapting to our country. And funny enough. At the apartment you pointed at when arriving to the block a man lives there who assulted his wife last summer when I was patrolling there. Heard them screaming. He had several diagnosis and should have been locked away. Really sad. In the 70's my dad used to live there and there where almost only Italians in his experience. It actually gives me ptsd just to see that shitty area.
You are over exaggerating there is no racism against the Swedes they live there. It’s just people mind their own business and so should you. Perhaps shop lifting but stealing is extremely looked down upon in those communities and in RG centrum they would be steaiing mostly from their own communities 😂 It does happen but not often. Other crime yes, but it’s nothing to do with you, they wont touch you. If anything there is much worse neighbourhoods than RG stop trying to exaggerate it and make it seem like Straight Outta Compton to these people 😂
I agree with collinsmith. I used to live in London and most council estates I came across were in a worse state than the buildings in Rosengård. However, the crime levels might still be higher in Rosengård.
I would love to see you have a conversation with a local about the living conditions bro, be so interesting to know some of the local history from the locals, cheers mate stay safe
Swede here. Rosengård back in the 90's and the begining of the 2000's was pretty bad nowadays it aint that bad tbh. Love that you came to sweden awesome content keep it up bro💪🇸🇪🤝🇦🇺
As a person who lives in Sweden and has friends who live in those type of blocks, it is actually not bad and if you go to like Bulgaria you will see that the blocks are in much worse conditions
If this is ''the hood'' in Sweden, I can see why Sweden is so happy, like this is just a typical housing estate? It actually looks quite well kept and clean. It looks like Disneyland compared to the European hoods of France, Germany, UK, Italy, etc .😂
This is probably the worst looking area you can find in Sweden. They have similar, perhaps more dangerous, areas in Stockholm. But since Stockholm is a richer city, they invested more in making them look good.
Love how when you came to "herrgården", the 'worst' area in Rosengård, you felt the tenseness in the atmosphere. You were right, it is the worst. I felt it a lot growing up in Malmö when I came to Herrgården. It was such a tense area.
I moved to malmö in 2012 and man.. im from NYC and felt tension I hadn't felt in harlem.. I had a gf living in the dorms in rosengård and I lived in hyille area then moved to amiralsgatan and stayed in industrigatan too... honestly it's not as bad as the media depicts it.. just like any other major city. If you don't have a reason to be in the apartment mazes people will prey on you..don't walk around late at night. Keep your head on a swivel. Don't walk around with headphones on etc.
@@Isleofskye That's really weird one. And it got me thinking when I've been in Rosengard in August of 2018, nice weather, not too hot, yet the streets and sidewalks were almost empty. I guess it's just how it is. Sure there were cars and busses passing around, a bicycle here and there, but pedestrians were rare to see.
I lived one year in Rosengård and frankly I have no idea what you are talking about. One year walking around in the middle of the night without being bothered at the slightest. Maybe because I am from South America and I actually know what violence and "tension" looks like. Rosengård is much more calmer than the suburbs of Göteborg and Stockholm but gets the bad fame for being about 100% foreign. Maybe that is the "tension" you are talking about. Non white people. That is what makes you "tense".
I am an Aussie who lived in Sweden from 1996 to 2000 and this was the suburb where I had to go to learn Swedish (Swedish for Immigrants), a full time 12 month + course run by the Swedish Govt. Just seeing those buildings again gives me mild PTSD. LOL
That sounds terrifying. I'm glad I live just outside of Oslo, where it's safe. The center of Oslo is getting worse by the year, we've have had more shootings in Norway than in Sweden since New years.
@@Cadenzeitlol. It is because of immigrants it is hell. They are bringing hell with them. Free loaders complaining about infrastructure they could never dream of in their countries
My friend who passed away lived in the Stockholm hood and I remember walking about just thinking it was dead quiet and not threatening but then you’d read about grenade attacks a few streets from his flat
@@creativeleodaily a lot of criminal gangs in Sweden come from foreign countries in 90s Yugoslavia Bosnia Serbia Kosovo today had loads of wars loads of refugees went to Sweden and then many weapons from that conflict got smuggled there so has a high amount of illicit weapons compared to other countries in Europe famous ibrahimovic parents were Bosnian for example or he moved as a child something like that. Now Sweden has Iraqi Syrian Somalian gangs the old Balkan ones native biker gangs and plenty of weapons. I come from the uk and just visited Sweden what struck me is crime isn’t really visible in the street like it is in London you don’t see gangs of youths around looking sketchy I think it’s a lot more organised crime than petty turf wars that’s the impression I got anyway

I lived in sweden for 3 years .. there are many public housing areas in sweden .. stockholm has many as well .. on the outside they look really depressing but l have been in many blocks and inside in the apartments they are actually really well decked out and homely .. most were built in the 70s .. its really not that bad .. and in sweden even though its exoensive .. you get the best medical and education UNI included which means no student debts .. it was a great country to live in
As a swede who visited Rosengård before i know how sketchy it is, But to me it does not look that bad visually? These kind of suburbs called "million programme" are all over the country, always lots of foreigners. we have a big problem regarding integration. Usually the victims of shootings are other gang and gangmembers, as a "civillian" i don´t really feel scared entering these kind of areas.
Know what I’m waitin for? Spanian’s Indian Adventure. goin thru the slums or just generally exploring the good and bad; the way you express yourself is just so entertaining
im from india. the slums are terrible. nothing more to say. theyre just terrible. ive seen youtubers try and go into detail about it but it doesn't sit right because the fact is theyre slums. If you want to talk about the real history of india, we could talk about the aryan invasions, european invasions, mughal imvasions, different states, languages, festivals and foods of india, etc
I think spanian’s thought about it. And although he’s a big man and can handle himself, I think an Indian slum would be a recipe for disaster. And probably smell like absolute shit too!
If you're stil in Sweden we can maybe manage to give you a guided tour of some hood so you can speak to some locals. And also the last street you walked in this episode is called Rammelsväg in Rosengård, exactly that street is notorious and maybe one of the most dangerous streets in Sweden.
You are really grasping at straws with this one. Just walking around and pointing at buildings and saying how they aren't in great conditions. Like yeah they are 50 year old commie buildings, of course they won't be stellar quality. But everything considered these are in pretty good condition. The area is clean and quiet. You keep saying that you feel unsafe and getting bad vibes but you have no reasoning behind it other than your feelings. I get that you want to get views for your channel and you probably wanted something to happen as an example of how terrible Sweden is, but a normal day is incredibly boring in Sweden, even in these poor neighborhoods.
Exectly. I think its wierd that a dude who supposedly did 13 years in prison would create that type of content that caters to "them other folks". Instead of finding some locals and give a truthful depiction of the neighborhood. Not hating on the channel but he needs to step his game up as a journalist.
@@Atomiicstarr If this is mad to you then I'm sorry that you feel that way. I was interested in the video but was obviously disappointed with how he tried to frame things despite finding nothing wrong. Or do you enjoy being told what to think sheep?
20 years ago Sweden was a great example and really safe. We have allways had working imigrants from the balkans due to all the shiping yards during 1960s-90s. The million programme suburbs was mainly built to house the working imigrants that came. But then came the Kosovo/Serbia war refugees then the refugees from various Arab conflicts/wars. Now they run the place. Some of the places the ambulance and fire rescue need police escort to get in. But all the blame is on the politicians. I dont think Sweden will be go back to being what it used to be in my lifetime.
Not really, I was living there 25 years ago and it was still shit. To see that kind of sweden you need to go pre-70s, before the immigration waves. 25 years ago it was already full of refugees and entire arab speaking neighborhoods. And I'm not talking about Malmö or Stockholm.
@@UL439 I guess your right. Im older then i tought =) I still remember a day in my class 92 and suddenly there was alot of new ppl that didnt know Swedish. But for me pre 90s i dont remember anny crime and shit like its now. Im myself a 3nd gen imigrant. my grandparents imigrated to Sweden during the 60s from Finland to Work the Shipyard and Tailoring factorys.
yes, the problem is with non-european migrants. these are NOT refugees, they are ECONOMIC MIGRANTS. deport all non-european migrants and the crime WILL END.
I came across this video by luck.... Wasn't sure what to really expect but an interesting piece of filming and I can honestly say I didn't expect to see this part of Sweden, I'm from the UK and met many Swedish people and seen pictures of their Homes nice big houses clean streets ect. I was raised in the south London council neighbourhood through the late 70s into the mid 90s, mostly gangs and run down building like it had been through wars. Watching this video thinking yeah not a pleasant location but looked much better then what I grew up around! Looks clean, open and at least got parks for kids.
The looks isn’t the bad about this area. There are much worse looking neighborhoods in Sweden. This neighborhood isn’t notorious for its looks though but for its absurdly high murder rate
Growing up in Dublin West, Ireland, when I moved to Sweden and walked through these "rough" areas, there's no comparison, well looked after, nice areas, and there's nothing wrong with those apartments, I'd say they're dry, well heated and well insulated. No burnt out cars, boarded up houses, no broken glass everywhere. There might be gun crime in Rosengård, but it's all gang on gang. Dublin it's more likely to be knife or hammer crime. There are parts I'd Dublin he'd likely not get out in one piece. I've never felt unsafe walking around anywhere in Malmö.
@FattasMotorhuv Yeah, but his reaction to the area is ludicrous. Literally everything is wrong, and reminds him of slums and prisons. Sure, it's depressing, but come on. Numbers on the buildings? Locked entrances with weather sheltering? He's really scraping the barrel for sensationalism. Sure the area isn't new and it shows, but bad quality? No. It's clean, virtually no graffiti or boarded up windows, no burning trash or cars, no makeshift hobo camps, no [any indication of slum]. But he acts like it's a post apocalyptic nightmare. The only thing that would remind you of criminality there would be him...
I actually currently live in Rosengård, close to the shopping centre but on the other side then where you walked. I’m a student originally from Germany and one of the biggest buildings in the area (I’d say) is student housing. It’s just this 1970 concrete wall of a building, nine stories high and I don’t know how many units wide. I’m not going to act like it’s a great place to live but it really isn’t as bad as it looks. Many of the places in the vide is where I usually cycle to university or buy my groceries. When I first moved here I was scared to be outside at night, but I’ve cycled home at three AM before and there really wasn’t any reason to worry. There definitely is some theft and drug dealing going on ( my bike got stolen from a locked garage) but in my experience you usually don’t get pulled in to that if you just do your thing. Obviously, I’m probably not as affected because I’m not really a local and the fact that I’m white could also play a role here. I just think that a lot of people from Sweden and Malmö who have never lived here see the ugly buildings and the large immigrant population and assume that it’s only gangs drugs and misery out here. It can be really nice though, for example summer is way livelier than winter. I do think that people with migrant backgrounds or more generally people with less income are pushed out into these areas and ghettoised.
Another top episode brother! You need to go and do a Hood Tour of Cova da Moura, in Amadora, which is 30 mins outside of Lisbon in Portugal. This is the last remaining favela in Europe! All buildings are built illegally, little laneways everywhere, it’s also a huge area for local rappers etc Not the safest of places but go and check it out, it’s a spin out! All the best

Awesome vid mate,keep up the great work🙌🏼💫 Little bit of info,about 88.5% of people who stay in Rosengard are first and second generation immigrants from Syria,Turkey,Somalia and the former Yugoslavia
if you're still in sweden head to stockholm and walk through fittja or tensta both places are in very rough shape and are both classed as "very vulnerable areas" just like rosengård

Being from Riga, Latvia it was kind of strange looking at these Swedish "hoods" when they look better than anything the baltics ( or most post soviet countries) can offer.

My dad grew up here in the 70s. He learned Swedish in the courtyards since the language at home was Croatian. Fun fact. My dad grew up in the same block as Zlatan but he lived there before him.
Respect to you for visiting so many cities around the globe! You should REALLY go to Stockholm, specially the red & blue line. You have hoods like; Rinkeby • Tensta • Husby • Akalla • Alby • Bredäng • Vårby Gård • Norsborg • Skärholmen Have been LOTS of violence the past 10 years in those areas
I walk through Rosengård to and from my white collar job five times a week, and have been doing so for almost 10 years. No one has ever bothered me. That is not to say that there aren't a lot of criminality but it's not dangerous at all to walk through the neighbourhood. At least not during day time.
Same bro, im from Lithuania, i was driving bicycle through rosengard , been stopped by local guys for a cigarete , i said i only vape we both laughed ,wished each other good luck and pedal away, its only dangerous for criminals , they fighting over drugs ,thats bad ofc, but just act normal and u will be good. Lithuania was way more dangerous when i was kid, we was fighting for fun in weekends ,so no one could scare us in Sweden , any hood any street im comfortable and had no problems.
Rosengård is also by far much more safe than many suburbs in Stockholm, Gothenburg and Uppsala. There are problems, yes. But its reputation is living off ”old merits” so to say because it was Sweden’s ”first” so called No-Go zone and much of the mentality around it is stuck in the 90s and 00s. It has compared to other places actually moved in a positive direction with decreasing crime and murders. In 2023 there were no murders in Rosengård and only 5 in Malmö, making Malmö per capita equal or safer than Stockholm and Gothenburg for example.
The only thing this video established was that the guy walking around found the quality of the buildings to be subpar. We learned absolutely nothing about the "ghetto" and "gun capital of Europe"
It's because comparatively Malmö isn't even that dangerous anymore. Don't get me wrong, it's far from the safest city but these days you would be much better off in Malmö compared to some outer hoods of Stockholm. Shootings have been going crazy there the past years and in Malmö it's only gone down. But Malmö still gets the bad rep from how it USED to be, even internationally.
@@wadeb8212 Göteborg is as far as I know relatively safe, although a couple years back there was a whole lot of car-arson over there. Don't know if that's died down. Going back to shootings, I recently saw a timelapse map of all shootings in Sweden last year. Some 90% of those were in the hoods of Stockholm. A very sad part about the shootings is; it's gang wars, but way too often innocent people get caught in the crossfire. As to Malmö, you could probably count the shootings on one hand that year, on a year where is was a nationwide all time high. Also, Malmö is still a pretty big city, some areas are much safer than others. These days people have told me Rosengård is far from the most dangerous area there. Keep in mind I'm by no means an expert on these things, so take what I say with a grain of salt.

Sweden (along with several other Scandinavian & Northern European countries) is a perfect example of what happens when you not only allow unrestricted immigration from third world countries in North Africa & the Middle East but actually actively encourage it, just like The Greens & Labor's left wingers currently demand that we adopt here in Australia. Thank God we copped onto this here in Australia a while ago and now focus on bringing in almost exclusively educated and skilled migrants who will result in a net gain to our culture & economy; we learnt our lesson the hard way from the formation of impoverished ethnic ghettos in Cabramatta and the South Western Sydney suburbs of Punchbowl, Lakemba, Greenacre etc back in the 70's & '80s, and all the debilitating inter-generational poverty, violence and organised crime that these have spawned over the past 40-odd years.
Cool to see you at Rosengård! if you want a bigger hood with more different housings go to Rinkeby/Tensta outside Stockholm and at Rinkeby Torg there is always some action especially if you come with a camera 🥳
i dont know if this is just forced "journalism" or stupidity but the buildings in Rosengard are not that bad. Sure, they arent fantastic and some of them are pretty worn down, but compared to the rest of the affordable housing in the world, even western, they're good. Also Stockholm and surrounding areas are WAY, WAY worse than Malmö in gun crime. Malmö has successfully reduced its gun violence over the recent years and stockholm, well. it's been the opposite there.
Spanian is a big cunt so it would take a fair few of them but if he did visit 4-5 of the worst areas without notice it could be dire lol.

Honestly, watching this is making me depressed. I know the feeling of living in poverty all to well. Couldn't even watch the whole thing, just brings back so many bad memories and made me feel sorry for myself. Anyway its 5pm in Perth now the sun is well up, its nice and warm and I'm walking to the beach for a swim. THANK THE LORD!
I grew up in 90s in a commie block in Kyiv, Ukraine, in one of the hoods where people didn't want to stroll. The fact that they don't have metal bars on windows and bicycles are just standing outside means it's really not so bad
And they were your own people and nation, not immigrants. But did they have any financial aid from the state, except a job, an workplace, didn't they have to pay for the rent and everything else?
Rosengård has had a bad reputation since the 90's, and it's undeserved AF at this point. People just regurgitate that it's "most dangerous". There are argumentatively worse suburbs in Malmö (none are very bad though), and Stockholm certainly has worse suburbs. I'm a 30 something native white guy who lived in Rosengård for four years close to the second last area you visited (my house was student apartments in way better shape, but neighboring to some really run down buildings), and I rarely had any issues (I think a guy was waiting to rob me once, and that's it). I very often walked around at nighttime. Honestly, the guys that do cause trouble mostly fuck with each other, rob teens, sell drugs, set cars on fire, and The second last part you visited is the famous part because the landlords are assholes so the buildings have been allowed to degrade, and it's been talked a lot about how there's cockroaches (which is rare in Sweden). The "shopping mall" had more traditional shops back in the days but all Swedes moved away and so the shops turned to types that cater to the people who live in Rosengård (no Swedes would go there to shop so there's no point in having typical shops there). If you think that represents shopping malls in Sweden then you are quite mistaken, we have a lot of normal shopping malls (for example, the biggest one in Hyllie in Malmö right where you switched trains). For the buildings - that's just the standard designs of the housing projects in the 70's. All of Sweden look like that to a degree. The entrances are just basic entrances that of course are locked (it's not like there's double doors for security). The buildings look hella depressing though. And the helicopters fly around constantly these days, tracking cars/criminals and, when there's a football game, hooligans.
Spanian a lot of foreign countries have these blocks of flats and it’s not all public housing like here in Australia. They are normal houses you can buy and sell.
As a Romanian i visited Sweden Swedish people are lovely and civilized All the crime its made by the immigrants from Africa and Islam countries. There, i said it
Couldn't be farther from the truth. You can't just blame it on all the foreigners that came to the country and all the Muslims cuz that's not the case. In the early '90s to the mid-200s they had an influx of bandidos and hell's angels that took their country over and started all the violence. That's where all the crime come from. If you're going to talk some s*** at least be factful with the s*** talk
It's just normal apartment buildings like in any swedish suburb! It's not "prison" or "ghetto", it's what the architecture was like everywhere here at the time. Also, renting is kinda the norm and you're not deprived if you don't own your home here. It's not like in the UK or US where renting is seen as the last straw. You're just walking around being judgemental from what media wants you to believe, or making things up. The reason you see the public housing going on and on, is that it's just normal architecture and how regular people live.
The anxiety you get when you get inside the hallway one of these buildings is quite overwhelming, particularly after dark, you really have to look around and be prepared for the worst.
In Sweden, these areas resemble typical suburban neighborhoods. Most people in the big city lives in apartments so they consist mainly of older apartments. The reason you’re shocked that they look like ghettos because in Australia these old apartments would be torn down and rebuild. The appearance might undergo a significant transformation during the summer.
Liked and subscribed, not only because u joggled the ball 20 times but because i really like your content! Nice episode! Btw i live in Sweden but further north from Malmö xD
Hey Spanain! Would appreciate an episode of Budapest´s hood. One of it's most feard street is called "Hös utca" (heroes street). Appreciate your videos!
I think they did a good job with the layout. Lots of space around the blocks. Easy to ride your bike to the shops. The blocks built in that era in Australia look the same, like the early 70s in Australia. Except in Australia houses would be jam packed up against the blocks and more congested. That's the thing that pisses me off about Australia, massive land, but all the zoning crams everyone in tight, even in rural towns and cities.
No he doesn't. All he did was walk through a few blocks of housing in the middle of the day, providing exaggerated commentary "wow look at the state of these apartments" as he touches a balcony fence with a few specks of rust.. If that's riveting coverage of Europes gun capital to you then I dunno what to tell you, man. He could have gone to some of the places where stuff actually happens and at night and he would have got some interesting footage maybe. This was a dogshit video, Coming from a Swede.
Spanian you should go to some of the hoods in London, it's honestly crazy but you would probably want to find someone that can be your guide because some of the estates are nuts
I think a big reason that places like this exist even in a place like Sweden is to house refugees/immigrants who aren't all able to land jobs that pay enough to live in nicer places, so I suppose it's not really the governments fault that places like this exist in Sweden. You're probably still better off being poor in Sweden than a lot of other places on Earth
They don’t assimilate to western ideals and revert back to the 3rd world habits they know. The non assimilation is voluntary by the way, the simple fact is they don’t want to be assimilated.
@kristofkijek WTF mate...The Swedish WOKE government at the time bought 90 % of those refugees into Sweden. The place where most of these same refugees are housed here in NZ commit more knife crimes than anywhere else in the country. (only because they can't get guns). Watch the documentary by Aus 60 minutes on Malmo, Sweden and make up your own mind.
It is the governments fault thought for bringing them in as a part of dissolving the nations strong homogenous population. Swedish government is one of international jewry favourite little paradigm
This is how cheap and mostly communal apartment blocks look like all over the Europe. I would say, that they don't even look as bad as some of the blocks in Eastern Europe. Travel a bit more through other European countries, as this is not bad. Those apartments are not falling apart, that's the style, affordable housing. I guess this will be a shock for someone coming from Oz, where mostly there are houses, but again, some of the suburbs in Oz, and old houses, for Europeans look like garden sheds 😂 It's just different Architecture, history and climate...
I know there are a lot of people who try to frame it differently, as if it's the convergence of many different elements to form this problem, but keepiing it real, it almost certainly comes down to uncontrolled immigration of people from incompatible cultures - in particular with that of Sweden.
It’s just a natural cycle. Sweden went so good uninterrupted for decades which were totally unnatural and probably a bit unfair to the world, so of course some problems will emerge. But let’s be honest, Sweden’s problem right now isn’t really even that major compared to other countries, even top tiered developed countries. And it isn’t that bad, it’s just that Sweden has been to good, so some mediocrity will be seen as terrible.
I dont live in rosengård, but i work in rosengård almost every day. Yes the buildings is shitty. Buy the ppl are super friendly. Always removes bikes from the streets when im driving there, and they give me tea and cookies when im done with my job. One of my favorite places to work in. Imma plumber.
Those weren’t even gangsters. Just fakers who pretend. It was pretty nice in Darwin compared to hoods in the USA. These videos are a joke 😂 “the hood” 😂😂😂
Rosengård is my neighborhood, so it's very weird to have it talked about in this way. My experience with Rosengård and eastern Malmö as a whole has been safe, I can trust people and talk to strangers, never been in trouble. I'm friendly with immigrants who don't even speak swedish, and they're friendly right back. I think if you show fear and aversion towards a person, you will get the worst from them in return.
It’s funny. I’m visiting Malmö, I would’ve thought this was one of the safest cities in Sweden, everybody’s been so friendly and coincidentally, I got off at Rosengård yesterday and didn’t think twice about it.
Yes it’s always about perceptions. Sweden has become like hell in the media’s message, but in reality, it is still really good and probably safer than a lot of places in the world, it’s just that the media can’t bare to see Sweden not being perfect anymore😂. As Chinese, I can deeply understand the feelings of misconceptions, because that’s what’s always been happening to my country. Similarly with Sweden, it’s far from perfect of course, but not nearly as bad as the media’s portrait.
@@holdencooper5558same thing in china, there’s a city called Handan and just recently they’ve had two cases of teenager’s murdering other people😢.

Until Spanian arrived at the hood, I had the best laugh.Was heaps better than watching an actual comedy and he would go well as a stand up comedian 😂Great content mate !
Great to see you do this video. My wife is native from Malmo and we go back every year to see her parents and our friends back there. I’ve been going there since 2007 and it’s been increasing worse. However. The police have put a lot of resources into Malmo of late. Probably helps that you look like a local in rosengard. good work mate
What's so bad about this estate? It's well-kept, there's no garbage. Where does he see the problem? This is a social housing estate, not a luxury estate. People in many countries would like to have the opportunity to live in such a place.
I've watched all of Spanian's European vlogs and hood tours, and I'm always amused at how much of the public he walks past seem confused at the sight of a RUclipsr talking to a camera. It's like some Europeans have never seen a GoPro or something.
I don’t know Spanos, maybe something lost in the camera (that golden hour glow makes everything look nice lol) but building / architecture wise this just feels like growing up in Europe in the middle of winter lol. Just looks like Berlin or Warsaw to me. They call them blocks for a reason. 🤷
Latvia had the most illegal immigrants per capita of the Baltic nations, (mainly Russians) during the occupation, so there are a lot of Soviet-era housing projects.
@@chuloworldwide Hey, I read that our Lithuanian brothers had a lot less Russians than Estonia and Latvia but you still have Soviet buildings? I'm Latvian by blood but born in Australia. Nice to meet you.

This is definitely not the worst looking apartment buildings. It's normal for old apartment buildings to be looking like that. (I'm from EU) I have no idea how he knows it's all public housing (🤦🏻♀️) but that's just how it is in most of the parts in Europe 🤷🏻♀️. We just have more apartments then houses lol doesn't mean it's straight up public housing.
Its very important to know that this is a extremly small part of sweden, its a very big country. I live in northern sweden and its realy beutifull, you should come for a ski trip some time 😃.

As a Romanian i must say that these flats are in a very good condition! In Romania in bigger cities there are flats full of mold, on some parts piece of the flat are falling of,inside the flat is full of rubbish,elevators not working all the time etc!
they have almost no excuse for the crimes they do. they live better than most eastern europeans and still think life forced them to shoot people xaxaxa
Yes, the cold weather and the laws and regulations in Sweden doesn't allow for buildings to become like what you describe. The living conditions has to be met and the municipal housing company has to repare if they want to rent out the flats in their building, and since there is a housing crisis and its hard to get a place for low income people and young people, there are no appartments empty to become moldy. The central heating is always on in the nordic countries.
It's obviously not about the flats but who lives in them
In Poland, the blocki in Lodz are the same. Grey buildings everywhere very depressing.
They're much better than the rundown areas in the UK too. The ones in this video don't even look slumish.

I don't think so. Plus, Eastern Europe is much safer than whatever this horribleness that Swedes have allowed themselves is.
Depending where you look. Nowadays you will find delapidated buildings only in the likes of Romania or Bulgaria.
this guy is complaining about architecture and block s design, which for a social housing looks more than better in comparision to eastern block.

The swedish system is made by the sweidsh people but the shootings are not.
I actually live in Malmö and to give you a background about these houses, they were mostly built in the 1960s due to socialism taking over and the lack of housing during that century. They were actually considered nice areas to live in at first. Then after the economy got better people could move to better places and they got “replaced” by immigrants mostly from places like Balkan and Chile. So these areas slowly started to become poorer and poorer. Now especially after 2014, thousands and thousands of immigrants from the Middle East came here with no plan, education and lack of government policies. These areas all around Sweden are quite dangerous due to drug trafficking and gang wars. They very rarely target ethnic swedes. Malmö is still a top city to live in and the suburbs of Stockholm is now far worse…
Same in every city in Europe...
Same happening in Finland. People come from middle east etc and bring problems with them instead of trying to fix those problems in their own country.

I had a feeling you were going to swing by Rosengård! Sadly I did not stumble upon you...
I have been living here in Rosengård for whole my life which is comming up on 25 years now, really happy to see someone documenting my neighbourhood.
At 24:53 when you had your ghetto senses tingeling I can assure you that those senses are 100% correct. That area is divided into different subgroups with specfic names. In example, the area where you stood at 24:53 is called the "zigenar gården" which in other words translates to the gypsy neighboorhood, as you mightve guessed the vast majority there are gypsies. Each block has its own name based on the ethnic majorty of the block and that area has always been regarded as the worst place in Rosengård.
At 19:50 when you cross the bridge you clearly see the difference in how the neighbourhoods look. One side is more dark dull and while the other is more bright and vibrant. This really does translate into how safe the two areas are. Its as if the bridge is a representation of the divided safety of the area. The area with buildings with more bright color is regarded as the "safe" part of Rosengård. Its the place you would rather live in.
As to your question regarding private housing, there are some in Rosengård but you headed away from the area. You were ca 3 minutes away from it when you were playing fotball!
It very interesting to see an outside perspective of your own neighbourhood. For me things are normal and are changing for the better ofc, but then watching it from another persons perspective things really do seem depressing.
Thank you for the documentary!

I started facepalming as soon as he entered that neighbourhood especially when he said something about the quality of those houses and that they are definitely 110% social houses. Makes me feel like he hasn’t seen too much in this world or was living in Nárnia.
He is a complete idiot obviously. Compare it to Norrebro, hipster area in Copenhagen. These exact areas exists basically everywhere in western Europe. In Denmark they have "ghetto laws", trying to tear down buildings because they consider things that bad.
Houses looks fine to me. They need to be cleaned. That’s about it. But yeah, they built to close to eachother.
This is how most appartment houses looks like in Sweden. But not all areas has the same social issues. So, well that’s that. It is what it is.
Literally the same. He's just a clown that fell for that "worst neighborhood in Europe" PR stuff, came there for the content, saw an average European 1960-80 block and started making up shit to make "content"
The whole appeal of his channel is that he was locked up in jail so didn't get to the see the world. It's fun watching it through his opinion
"look at the state of these apartments" *touches a perfectly intact fence with a tiny speck of rust* I chuckled at that.
I mean , its by no means beautiful houses when you get off the train, but "in that bad condition"? Perfectly working houses, intact, with all the amenetis.
He's saying this to make it sound dramatic. Swedish housing in Rosengard is great quality and well maintained despite the often self-destructive and anti-social people living in it. Why is he being dishonest. (BTW I am an architect who was a social housing manager making assessments of building condition)
Its pretty horrific to look at that's for sure.
im from sweden they look good but then yeah .. i leave it like that
Yeaeh that was a bit ehh. It's just normal houses. Probably in better shape than the vast majority of apartments in the world.
It definitely isn't the nicest area in town, but it does look far less depressing in the summer. The first time I was there I was quite surprised that it looked much nicer than I thought it would. A bit of green can do a lot. A lot of the apartments aren't that bad on the inside either, but the commie block architecture isn't much to look at inside or out. Also kinda funny that you managed to pinpoint the worst part of the area just by looking at it :D

I'm not saying everyone there is bad, far from it. I've had several nice connections as well but it's overbearingly bad there due to the separate culture and lack of adapting to our country.
And funny enough. At the apartment you pointed at when arriving to the block a man lives there who assulted his wife last summer when I was patrolling there. Heard them screaming. He had several diagnosis and should have been locked away. Really sad. In the 70's my dad used to live there and there where almost only Italians in his experience.
It actually gives me ptsd just to see that shitty area.
You are over exaggerating there is no racism against the Swedes they live there. It’s just people mind their own business and so should you. Perhaps shop lifting but stealing is extremely looked down upon in those communities and in RG centrum they would be steaiing mostly from their own communities 😂 It does happen but not often.

This is probably the worst looking area you can find in Sweden. They have similar, perhaps more dangerous, areas in Stockholm. But since Stockholm is a richer city, they invested more in making them look good.

I lived one year in Rosengård and frankly I have no idea what you are talking about. One year walking around in the middle of the night without being bothered at the slightest.

That sounds terrifying. I'm glad I live just outside of Oslo, where it's safe. The center of Oslo is getting worse by the year, we've have had more shootings in Norway than in Sweden since New years.
how come it gives you PTSD? Did you have some bad experiences there?
Yeah it's hell. And being forced to grow up in a place like that, it's really hard to get out of it. I'm from Sweden btw.

My friend who passed away lived in the Stockholm hood and I remember walking about just thinking it was dead quiet and not threatening but then you’d read about grenade attacks a few streets from his flat
No way grenade like the one used in wars ?
@@creativeleodaily a lot of criminal gangs in Sweden come from foreign countries in 90s Yugoslavia Bosnia Serbia Kosovo today had loads of wars loads of refugees went to Sweden and then many weapons from that conflict got smuggled there so has a high amount of illicit weapons compared to other countries in Europe famous ibrahimovic parents were Bosnian for example or he moved as a child something like that.
Now Sweden has Iraqi Syrian Somalian gangs the old Balkan ones native biker gangs and plenty of weapons. I come from the uk and just visited Sweden what struck me is crime isn’t really visible in the street like it is in London you don’t see gangs of youths around looking sketchy I think it’s a lot more organised crime than petty turf wars that’s the impression I got anyway

I lived in sweden for 3 years .. there are many public housing areas in sweden .. stockholm has many as well .. on the outside they look really depressing but l have been in many blocks and inside in the apartments they are actually really well decked out and homely .. most were built in the 70s .. its really not that bad .. and in sweden even though its exoensive .. you get the best medical and education UNI included which means no student debts .. it was a great country to live in
Its not the buildings , its the people who live in them...they should all be deported IMO

Yeah if you want to see poverty, India has it in spades. I’m surprised he hasn’t been yet, that would be a killer episode.
im from india. the slums are terrible. nothing more to say. theyre just terrible. ive seen youtubers try and go into detail about it but it doesn't sit right because the fact is theyre slums. If you want to talk about the real history of india, we could talk about the aryan invasions, european invasions, mughal imvasions, different states, languages, festivals and foods of india, etc
I think spanian’s thought about it. And although he’s a big man and can handle himself, I think an Indian slum would be a recipe for disaster. And probably smell like absolute shit too!
No need, just go to Luton or Leicester in England.
You'd think you're in Mumbai.
If you're stil in Sweden we can maybe manage to give you a guided tour of some hood so you can speak to some locals. And also the last street you walked in this episode is called Rammelsväg in Rosengård, exactly that street is notorious and maybe one of the most dangerous streets in Sweden.

You are really grasping at straws with this one. Just walking around and pointing at buildings and saying how they aren't in great conditions. Like yeah they are 50 year old commie buildings, of course they won't be stellar quality. But everything considered these are in pretty good condition. The area is clean and quiet.
You keep saying that you feel unsafe and getting bad vibes but you have no reasoning behind it other than your feelings. I get that you want to get views for your channel and you probably wanted something to happen as an example of how terrible Sweden is, but a normal day is incredibly boring in Sweden, even in these poor neighborhoods.
Exectly. I think its wierd that a dude who supposedly did 13 years in prison would create that type of content that caters to "them other folks". Instead of finding some locals and give a truthful depiction of the neighborhood. Not hating on the channel but he needs to step his game up as a journalist.

20 years ago Sweden was a great example and really safe. We have allways had working imigrants from the balkans due to all the shiping yards during 1960s-90s. The million programme suburbs was mainly built to house the working imigrants that came. But then came the Kosovo/Serbia war refugees then the refugees from various Arab conflicts/wars. Now they run the place. Some of the places the ambulance and fire rescue need police escort to get in. But all the blame is on the politicians. I dont think Sweden will be go back to being what it used to be in my lifetime.
They'll have to figure out a way to deport them (back to their own countries) if they're not willing to integrate into the culture of a country.
Not really, I was living there 25 years ago and it was still shit. To see that kind of sweden you need to go pre-70s, before the immigration waves. 25 years ago it was already full of refugees and entire arab speaking neighborhoods. And I'm not talking about Malmö or Stockholm.
@@UL439 I guess your right. Im older then i tought =) I still remember a day in my class 92 and suddenly there was alot of new ppl that didnt know Swedish. But for me pre 90s i dont remember anny crime and shit like its now.

yes, the problem is with non-european migrants. these are NOT refugees, they are ECONOMIC MIGRANTS. deport all non-european migrants and the crime WILL END.

I came across this video by luck.... Wasn't sure what to really expect but an interesting piece of filming and I can honestly say I didn't expect to see this part of Sweden, I'm from the UK and met many Swedish people and seen pictures of their Homes nice big houses clean streets ect. I was raised in the south London council neighbourhood through the late 70s into the mid 90s, mostly gangs and run down building like it had been through wars. Watching this video thinking yeah not a pleasant location but looked much better then what I grew up around! Looks clean, open and at least got parks for kids.
The looks isn’t the bad about this area. There are much worse looking neighborhoods in Sweden. This neighborhood isn’t notorious for its looks though but for its absurdly high murder rate
Growing up in Dublin West, Ireland, when I moved to Sweden and walked through these "rough" areas, there's no comparison, well looked after, nice areas, and there's nothing wrong with those apartments, I'd say they're dry, well heated and well insulated. No burnt out cars, boarded up houses, no broken glass everywhere. There might be gun crime in Rosengård, but it's all gang on gang. Dublin it's more likely to be knife or hammer crime. There are parts I'd Dublin he'd likely not get out in one piece. I've never felt unsafe walking around anywhere in Malmö.
He's a sensationalist grifter.
@FattasMotorhuv Yeah, but his reaction to the area is ludicrous. Literally everything is wrong, and reminds him of slums and prisons. Sure, it's depressing, but come on. Numbers on the buildings? Locked entrances with weather sheltering? He's really scraping the barrel for sensationalism.
Sure the area isn't new and it shows, but bad quality? No.
It's clean, virtually no graffiti or boarded up windows, no burning trash or cars, no makeshift hobo camps, no [any indication of slum]. But he acts like it's a post apocalyptic nightmare.
The only thing that would remind you of criminality there would be him...
@@BroNumsi I agree, everything looked pretty normal for a Swedish suburb.
I actually currently live in Rosengård, close to the shopping centre but on the other side then where you walked. I’m a student originally from Germany and one of the biggest buildings in the area (I’d say) is student housing. It’s just this 1970 concrete wall of a building, nine stories high and I don’t know how many units wide. I’m not going to act like it’s a great place to live but it really isn’t as bad as it looks. Many of the places in the vide is where I usually cycle to university or buy my groceries. When I first moved here I was scared to be outside at night, but I’ve cycled home at three AM before and there really wasn’t any reason to worry. There definitely is some theft and drug dealing going on ( my bike got stolen from a locked garage) but in my experience you usually don’t get pulled in to that if you just do your thing. Obviously, I’m probably not as affected because I’m not really a local and the fact that I’m white could also play a role here.
I just think that a lot of people from Sweden and Malmö who have never lived here see the ugly buildings and the large immigrant population and assume that it’s only gangs drugs and misery out here. It can be really nice though, for example summer is way livelier than winter. I do think that people with migrant backgrounds or more generally people with less income are pushed out into these areas and ghettoised.
Good content Spanian . I bet you will have 1 million subs in 6 months

You need to go and do a Hood Tour of Cova da Moura, in Amadora, which is 30 mins outside of Lisbon in Portugal.

Little bit of info,about 88.5% of people who stay in Rosengard are first and second generation immigrants from Syria,Turkey,Somalia and the former Yugoslavia
i love it when you take us to the journeys via train so cool to see the different stations and places along the way
if you're still in sweden head to stockholm and walk through fittja or tensta both places are in very rough shape and are both classed as "very vulnerable areas" just like rosengård
I’m sorry rough shape? Just go over the sea to Baltic’s and check out an average building there.
@@Steven-zm4ze ive been to croatia and yes they look worse but its because they are old buildings. all of these apartment buildings are built in 1970-1980

Same bro, im from Lithuania, i was driving bicycle through rosengard , been stopped by local guys for a cigarete , i said i only vape we both laughed ,wished each other good luck and pedal away, its only dangerous for criminals , they fighting over drugs ,thats bad ofc, but just act normal and u will be good.

And for a woman?
@@muhc8550 highly recommend for a woman to have a gun, period.
Rosengård is also by far much more safe than many suburbs in Stockholm, Gothenburg and Uppsala. There are problems, yes. But its reputation is living off ”old merits” so to say because it was Sweden’s ”first” so called No-Go zone and much of the mentality around it is stuck in the 90s and 00s. It has compared to other places actually moved in a positive direction with decreasing crime and murders. In 2023 there were no murders in Rosengård and only 5 in Malmö, making Malmö per capita equal or safer than Stockholm and Gothenburg for example.
3:50 The Hills district in Sydney now has a metro line with a trainless driver from Chatswood to Tallawong.
The only thing this video established was that the guy walking around found the quality of the buildings to be subpar. We learned absolutely nothing about the "ghetto" and "gun capital of Europe"
Yeah and they were prison grade and too secure but they were also badly built smh. Makes a lot of sense if you ask me xD
Nice one saved me watching more than the ten minutes I've already seen
It's because comparatively Malmö isn't even that dangerous anymore. Don't get me wrong, it's far from the safest city but these days you would be much better off in Malmö compared to some outer hoods of Stockholm. Shootings have been going crazy there the past years and in Malmö it's only gone down. But Malmö still gets the bad rep from how it USED to be, even internationally.
@@tobiasgreeeen Where might Göteborg or other locations compare to these outlying areas?
@@wadeb8212 Göteborg is as far as I know relatively safe, although a couple years back there was a whole lot of car-arson over there. Don't know if that's died down. Going back to shootings, I recently saw a timelapse map of all shootings in Sweden last year. Some 90% of those were in the hoods of Stockholm. A very sad part about the shootings is; it's gang wars, but way too often innocent people get caught in the crossfire. As to Malmö, you could probably count the shootings on one hand that year, on a year where is was a nationwide all time high. Also, Malmö is still a pretty big city, some areas are much safer than others. These days people have told me Rosengård is far from the most dangerous area there. Keep in mind I'm by no means an expert on these things, so take what I say with a grain of salt.
I’m from Malmö born and raised and I can definitely tell you I’ve been to worse neighborhoods than rosengård here in Malmö

Sweden (along with several other Scandinavian & Northern European countries) is a perfect example of what happens when you not only allow unrestricted immigration from third world countries in North Africa & the Middle East but actually actively encourage it, just like The Greens & Labor's left wingers currently demand that we adopt here in Australia. Thank God we copped onto this here in Australia a while ago and now focus on bringing in almost exclusively educated and skilled migrants who will result in a net gain to our culture & economy; we learnt our lesson the hard way from the formation of impoverished ethnic ghettos in Cabramatta and the South Western Sydney suburbs of Punchbowl, Lakemba, Greenacre etc back in the 70's & '80s, and all the debilitating inter-generational poverty, violence and organised crime that these have spawned over the past 40-odd years.

Cool to see you at Rosengård! if you want a bigger hood with more different housings go to Rinkeby/Tensta outside Stockholm and at Rinkeby Torg there is always some action especially if you come with a camera 🥳
i dont know if this is just forced "journalism" or stupidity but the buildings in Rosengard are not that bad. Sure, they arent fantastic and some of them are pretty worn down, but compared to the rest of the affordable housing in the world, even western, they're good.
Also Stockholm and surrounding areas are WAY, WAY worse than Malmö in gun crime. Malmö has successfully reduced its gun violence over the recent years and stockholm, well. it's been the opposite there.
Man I found you from a TV interview in Greece and now I am obsessed with you channel, amazing content !

I grew up south side Glasgow in the 90's and even now I'm shocked how bad it was. There are still parts of Glasgow that are shockingly bad but the 90's was something else.

Rosengård has had a bad reputation since the 90's, and it's undeserved AF at this point. People just regurgitate that it's "most dangerous". There are argumentatively worse suburbs in Malmö (none are very bad though), and Stockholm certainly has worse suburbs.
I'm a 30 something native white guy who lived in Rosengård for four years close to the second last area you visited (my house was student apartments in way better shape, but neighboring to some really run down buildings), and I rarely had any issues (I think a guy was waiting to rob me once, and that's it). I very often walked around at nighttime. Honestly, the guys that do cause trouble mostly fuck with each other, rob teens, sell drugs, set cars on fire, and
The second last part you visited is the famous part because the landlords are assholes so the buildings have been allowed to degrade, and it's been talked a lot about how there's cockroaches (which is rare in Sweden).
The "shopping mall" had more traditional shops back in the days but all Swedes moved away and so the shops turned to types that cater to the people who live in Rosengård (no Swedes would go there to shop so there's no point in having typical shops there). If you think that represents shopping malls in Sweden then you are quite mistaken, we have a lot of normal shopping malls (for example, the biggest one in Hyllie in Malmö right where you switched trains).
For the buildings - that's just the standard designs of the housing projects in the 70's. All of Sweden look like that to a degree. The entrances are just basic entrances that of course are locked (it's not like there's double doors for security). The buildings look hella depressing though.
And the helicopters fly around constantly these days, tracking cars/criminals and, when there's a football game, hooligans.
Spanian a lot of foreign countries have these blocks of flats and it’s not all public housing like here in Australia. They are normal houses you can buy and sell.
As a Romanian i visited Sweden
Swedish people are lovely and civilized
All the crime its made by the immigrants from Africa and Islam countries.
There, i said it
Mostly eastern Europeans are the biggest problem in sweden
Then why hasn't your government kicked them out yet? It's really dangerous.
Couldn't be farther from the truth. You can't just blame it on all the foreigners that came to the country and all the Muslims cuz that's not the case. In the early '90s to the mid-200s they had an influx of bandidos and hell's angels that took their country over and started all the violence. That's where all the crime come from. If you're going to talk some s*** at least be factful with the s*** talk

Yes, we're having very low criminality rate in Romania. Something that Middle easterners and Africans will never understand
It's just normal apartment buildings like in any swedish suburb! It's not "prison" or "ghetto", it's what the architecture was like everywhere here at the time. Also, renting is kinda the norm and you're not deprived if you don't own your home here. It's not like in the UK or US where renting is seen as the last straw. You're just walking around being judgemental from what media wants you to believe, or making things up. The reason you see the public housing going on and on, is that it's just normal architecture and how regular people live.
The anxiety you get when you get inside the hallway one of these buildings is quite overwhelming, particularly after dark, you really have to look around and be prepared for the worst.
Especially if the electric light is not working... just be prepared
ha ha ha no
In Sweden, these areas resemble typical suburban neighborhoods. Most people in the big city lives in apartments so they consist mainly of older apartments. The reason you’re shocked that they look like ghettos because in Australia these old apartments would be torn down and rebuild. The appearance might undergo a significant transformation during the summer.
It's typical in sweden to be a shithole?

Hey Spanain! Would appreciate an episode of Budapest´s hood. One of it's most feard street is called "Hös utca" (heroes street). Appreciate your videos!
I think they did a good job with the layout. Lots of space around the blocks. Easy to ride your bike to the shops. The blocks built in that era in Australia look the same, like the early 70s in Australia. Except in Australia houses would be jam packed up against the blocks and more congested. That's the thing that pisses me off about Australia, massive land, but all the zoning crams everyone in tight, even in rural towns and cities.
These ugly blocks eat up excellent farmlands although.
This guys need a Netflix series
No he doesn't. All he did was walk through a few blocks of housing in the middle of the day, providing exaggerated commentary "wow look at the state of these apartments" as he touches a balcony fence with a few specks of rust.. If that's riveting coverage of Europes gun capital to you then I dunno what to tell you, man. He could have gone to some of the places where stuff actually happens and at night and he would have got some interesting footage maybe. This was a dogshit video, Coming from a Swede.
Spanian you should go to some of the hoods in London, it's honestly crazy but you would probably want to find someone that can be your guide because some of the estates are nuts
Yeah mayne he could go through some of the estates in Brixton like Coldharbour Lane and Myatts Fields.
I think he’d get robbed at night, he defo shouldn’t be walking around with a valuable chain or watch on I tell that lol
Did not expect to see Spanian in my home city of Copenhagen👌
Even went to Nørrebro.
I think a big reason that places like this exist even in a place like Sweden is to house refugees/immigrants who aren't all able to land jobs that pay enough to live in nicer places, so I suppose it's not really the governments fault that places like this exist in Sweden. You're probably still better off being poor in Sweden than a lot of other places on Earth
Every single aspect of that is due to government policy, tf do you mean
They don’t assimilate to western ideals and revert back to the 3rd world habits they know. The non assimilation is voluntary by the way, the simple fact is they don’t want to be assimilated.
Exactly. They’re privileged compared to where they came from and likely get generous welfare too.
@kristofkijek WTF mate...The Swedish WOKE government at the time bought 90 % of those refugees into Sweden. The place where most of these same refugees are housed here in NZ commit more knife crimes than anywhere else in the country. (only because they can't get guns). Watch the documentary by Aus 60 minutes on Malmo, Sweden and make up your own mind.
It is the governments fault thought for bringing them in as a part of dissolving the nations strong homogenous population. Swedish government is one of international jewry favourite little paradigm
This is how cheap and mostly communal apartment blocks look like all over the Europe. I would say, that they don't even look as bad as some of the blocks in Eastern Europe. Travel a bit more through other European countries, as this is not bad. Those apartments are not falling apart, that's the style, affordable housing. I guess this will be a shock for someone coming from Oz, where mostly there are houses, but again, some of the suburbs in Oz, and old houses, for Europeans look like garden sheds 😂 It's just different Architecture, history and climate...
I’ve been hooked on this series it’s nice to see some media and docos that isn’t about any agenda or political bullshit

im swedish and this is all because of immigration
Yeah
Immigration of bad people, that"s the point
I know there are a lot of people who try to frame it differently, as if it's the convergence of many different elements to form this problem, but keepiing it real, it almost certainly comes down to uncontrolled immigration of people from incompatible cultures - in particular with that of Sweden.
It’s just a natural cycle. Sweden went so good uninterrupted for decades which were totally unnatural and probably a bit unfair to the world, so of course some problems will emerge. But let’s be honest, Sweden’s problem right now isn’t really even that major compared to other countries, even top tiered developed countries. And it isn’t that bad, it’s just that Sweden has been to good, so some mediocrity will be seen as terrible.

Always removes bikes from the streets when im driving there, and they give me tea and cookies when im done with my job. One of my favorite places to work in. Imma plumber.
Only wish he interacted more with the local gangsters like he does in Australia
You can’t interact with them , it’s a ‘culture ‘ thing , suprised nobody said about he’s camera in the shopping areas
Those weren’t even gangsters. Just fakers who pretend. It was pretty nice in Darwin compared to hoods in the USA. These videos are a joke 😂 “the hood” 😂😂😂
If he talked to people here, his whole narrative would have collapsed.
Rosengård is my neighborhood, so it's very weird to have it talked about in this way. My experience with Rosengård and eastern Malmö as a whole has been safe, I can trust people and talk to strangers, never been in trouble. I'm friendly with immigrants who don't even speak swedish, and they're friendly right back. I think if you show fear and aversion towards a person, you will get the worst from them in return.
Try being homosexual in Rosengard.. I moved awqy because muslim migrants bullied me, even spit on
Exactly. Cause you have the right attitude towards people. Salute
It’s funny. I’m visiting Malmö, I would’ve thought this was one of the safest cities in Sweden, everybody’s been so friendly and coincidentally, I got off at Rosengård yesterday and didn’t think twice about it.
Yes it’s always about perceptions. Sweden has become like hell in the media’s message, but in reality, it is still really good and probably safer than a lot of places in the world, it’s just that the media can’t bare to see Sweden not being perfect anymore😂. As Chinese, I can deeply understand the feelings of misconceptions, because that’s what’s always been happening to my country. Similarly with Sweden, it’s far from perfect of course, but not nearly as bad as the media’s portrait.
@@holdencooper5558same thing in china, there’s a city called Handan and just recently they’ve had two cases of teenager’s murdering other people😢. Because of the severity of the case, the whole country now thinks Handan is this catastrophic nightmare, but in reality it’s just a normal city that is mostly safe, but of course psychopaths and devils exist
Until Spanian arrived at the hood, I had the best laugh.Was heaps better than watching an actual comedy and he would go well as a stand up comedian 😂Great content mate !
Looks like a normal suburb to me
That is not public housing, its just normal apartments in that area
Great to see you do this video. My wife is native from Malmo and we go back every year to see her parents and our friends back there. I’ve been going there since 2007 and it’s been increasing worse. However. The police have put a lot of resources into Malmo of late. Probably helps that you look like a local in rosengard. good work mate
But bruhh...this is a normal peaceful neighbourhood again 😂
Love the excitement tho haha
dude… there was a red ticket machine and you can always ask people right? 😂
What's so bad about this estate? It's well-kept, there's no garbage. Where does he see the problem? This is a social housing estate, not a luxury estate. People in many countries would like to have the opportunity to live in such a place.
Murders. Sweden has the highest gun murders in Europe. Everything doesn't sit in the flats, you know? Wake up and read up.
you got a new subscriber love the content bro
I've watched all of Spanian's European vlogs and hood tours, and I'm always amused at how much of the public he walks past seem confused at the sight of a RUclipsr talking to a camera. It's like some Europeans have never seen a GoPro or something.
Vlogging and internet stuff is a western English speaking thing.
In Europe GoPros are used when you're doing sports.
"Europeans"
Where is the gehtto? No graffiti no drunks or Junkies no smashed cars or Windows
I don’t know Spanos, maybe something lost in the camera (that golden hour glow makes everything look nice lol) but building / architecture wise this just feels like growing up in Europe in the middle of winter lol. Just looks like Berlin or Warsaw to me. They call them blocks for a reason. 🤷
Okay 23-24 mins in does look shitty.
I am with you…what hood???
@@dash-kt7uf and German Doner Kebab is a literal chain like Nandos so can’t be that bad.
Surely not Warsaw
@@eedragonr architecture wise. Blocks look like blocks all over Europe.
Awesome channel man! Will subscribe
Keep it up brother! You have to check out Estonia, Latvia, Lithuanian hoods 🎉
Latvia had the most illegal immigrants per capita of the Baltic nations, (mainly Russians) during the occupation, so there are a lot of Soviet-era housing projects.
@@paulk8072 right! All 3 countries have a lot of Soviet era buildings. I am from Lithuania
@@chuloworldwide Hey, I read that our Lithuanian brothers had a lot less Russians than Estonia and Latvia but you still have Soviet buildings? I'm Latvian by blood but born in Australia. Nice to meet you.
@@paulk8072 nice to meet you my brother! To be honest I don't know about the actual numbers but there's a lot of Russian in Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania. In Kaunas otherwise, which is the second largest city it is predominantly Lithuanian living there. But most of the neighborhoods in every Lithuanian city has Soviet era housing
@@chuloworldwide Interesting; similar in Latvia mostly Russians in the capital Riga, Latvians predominantly live in the smaller towns and countryside.
This is definitely not the worst looking apartment buildings. It's normal for old apartment buildings to be looking like that. (I'm from EU) I have no idea how he knows it's all public housing (🤦🏻♀️) but that's just how it is in most of the parts in Europe 🤷🏻♀️. We just have more apartments then houses lol doesn't mean it's straight up public housing.
Sitting in the most dangerous hood in NSW, Letho/Mt Druitt, sirens blaring and watching Spanian go into the most notorious hood in Sweden!
I’m with ya, brought up in the hoods of Melbourne, love this bloke, balls of steel, makes the impossible seem possible
Its very important to know that this is a extremly small part of sweden, its a very big country. I live in northern sweden and its realy beutifull, you should come for a ski trip some time 😃. In winter you never see the sun and in the summer the sun is up the entire day. Where you were in this video its very little snow but where i live (in the middle of sweden) its still a meter of snow and its april in a few days, i love the snow extremly much, its extremly fun to ride snowmobiles or go skiing. Great video!
