You are completely wrong about the intention. The intention was to remove the large housing shortage and overcrowding we had in the 50s (long before we had many refugees), where many did not have modern housing with showers and flush toilets. They started a program called the "million program", with the intention of building one million homes all over Sweden. It had nothing to do with social housing, the poor or immigrants, but ordinary Swedes happily moved out of the central city to live in these then modern buildings. It was later that things went wrong, and it didn't turn out as planned at all. Most of the apartments are completely ordinary tenements, but the reason why only immigrants live there is because they are the cheapest tenements, partly because the maintenance was neglected and it turned out that the areas were not as cozy as planned. Then not all of these million project areas have become ghettos. I myself live in a neighborhood that was built during this time, and it is not a ghetto. 54% of my neighbors have furthered their education after high school
I only mentioned this briefly, but you did a great job giving a deeper explanation ððŧ
Happily...?? Swedish people found these miljonprogram blocks and areas appalling already in the early 1970s (when they were brand new).
@@herrbonk3635 Some did, some loved it.
Men ett eller annet sted gjorde dere noe feil. Hilsen en veldig nÃĶr nabo. :) Men vi ser det her ogsÃĨ etterhvert. Jeg bor midt i skogen, ser ikke folk. SÃĨ for meg har det ingenting ÃĨ si personlig. :)
Og sÃĨ blir det artig ÃĨ se om noen engelsktalende oversetter denne. :)
As a Norwegian I am aware of these areas, and know the background history briefly. I guess the areas were meant for working people, tax payers. Since they are later largely taken over by people who live on social security and do not pay tax, the municipality has no income from those who live in the areas, and therefore they cannot afford to maintain them either. If you add that it is unsafe for people from outside to go into the areas, you might have problems getting workers who are willing to do the maintenance work. It's all a vicious circle caused by Sweden's big, warm beating heart, who really wanted to do good, but couldn't put the brakes on when they saw which way it was going.
I live in MalmÃķ. RosengÃĨrd is nowhere near as bad as it was in the 90s, plus he missed all the good stuff at the mall All he did was walking around complaining about trivial shit
Im a swede, and perhaps can provide some context. The vast majority of gun crime in Sweden happens in these hoods. These hoods only really exist in the major cities, such as Stockholm or MalmÃķ. They were built between the late 60s and early 70s during the so called "Miljonprogrammet", aimed at providing cheap, fast to build housing to the increasingly urbanized population. It was only after waves of migration that these areas became "Ghetto", it used to be the home of other swedes, but nowadays most people who live there come from abroad. The differnce in culture and socioeconomic conditions have contributed to the rise of gangs in these areas.
It was still a getto before the imigrationwaves, in a swedish way that is. I grove up in one area that today sees like a no go zone. Back in days the area i grove up in was filled with dysfunctional familys, poor familys and so on, as a teenager i was one of the idiots that made the area bad, so I know. 70% of my childhood friends ended up criminals or addicted to heavy drugs. The violence today is harder today, but the areas where still bad "hoods" back in the 90s.
@@freddieholmez2350 Hmm, good point, i have lived most of my life on the countryside, and i am also quite young, so i wouldnt know about that.
@@freddieholmez2350 Fairly good points, I would say that back in the 70ies the crimes were more common, but usually not as serious.
You might had been attacked with a motorcycle chain or a bat, but probably not shot
The good old days of not bringing guns to the knife fights. No one ever used a bike chain or bat in the seventies anyway though. That's an eighties thing silly. :)
Also, common for both eras, once enough people were triggered enough to fight, most of them were already ready to pass out on the lawns anyway. The main problem nowadays is that the people starting fights do it for the high of that itself. And since most don't drink.. Well, there is an obvious problem then.
@@AltCutTV I don't really comprehand, but I'm pretty sure there were some bike chains, bats and even knives back in the day. I lived it, saw it. If you didn't see it you were probably not in the hoods
he just walked around, didn't talk to people and asked them about the place.
Coming from Chicago and now residing in Gothenburg I can tell you the crime or gun problem here is NOTHING in comparison. Remember, Chicago is a CITY that has around 8 million people and the entire COUNTRY of Sweden has around 10 million. I feel a HELL of a lot safer walking the streets of Gothenburg at night then in Chicago bro. AndâĶ.Chicago had 50 shootings just over last weekend where Sweden had like 10 so far this year
It's like you say, it's all about perspektiv.
I've been to Chicago and it's pretty much a third world country when it comes to violence (no, most third world countries are a lot safer). No place in Europe is even close to Chicago when it comes to violence. Unfortunately drill rap stemming from Chicago had a very negative impact on youths all over the world, including Sweden, where kids are being brainwashed by the music.
Chicago is a place where you can literally feel the evil energy in some areas.
But as far as shootings, Sweden has between 300-400 shootings per year. World's apart from Chicago but still bad compared to other European countries.
Most shoptings are in specific aread of cities like rinkeby stockholm hammarkullen gothenburg rosengÃĨrd malmÃķ navestad norrkÃķping and so on
Two wrongs do not make one right.
many of these houses were built and owned by municipal housing companies but have since been sold to unscrupulous private landlords, who raised the rents and neglected necessary maintenance and renovations, therefore over time it has been allowed to fall into disrepair and neglect
Areas like RosengÃĨrd exist all over Sweden in larger cities but RosengÃĨrd is the most infamous. They were all built in the 70s during the "million project" were Sweden built 1 million apartments/houses due to the housing market lagging behind. When you want to built that much in such a short time you need to be cost effective and have a similar template for all buildings. These areas were designed as "mini cities" where you had everything you needed locally and did not have to go to the main city for your daily life.
At first it was seen as a success but too many apartments were built so plenty of them were empty for a time. In the late 70s and early 80s Sweden started seeing more and more immigration to the country, since many of these areas had apartments available and were fairly cheap many immigrants ended up in these areas. Sweden did not have the foresight to perhaps limit this and spread out the immigrants arriving to different areas. This then caused a snowball effect where swedes were generally better off and had it easier to move out of these areas more quickly, thus more immigrants moved in to the point where many swedes thought there were too many immigrants in their neighbourhood and moved out.
This kept happening with immigration with little intervention continuing to make these areas what they are today. Areas seperated from the rest of the city and society with fewer and fewer swedes causing the everyday language and culture in these areas to be from mainly the middle east. This creating the situation today with few prospects for integration into swedish society and a perfect recipe for gangs and criminality to take root. It is of course the duty of the individual take steps to integrate into your new country but the swedish governments since this began have not had a proper control, or understanding about other cultures or how large scale immigration effect all aspects of society to "fix" this.
This was a short summary and there's so many other factors that affect all of this aswell but hopefully you get the point. Feel free to expand on this my fellow swedes.
I think you pretty much got it spot on
I've walked through RosengÃĨrd several times, drunk on friday nights, it's not a problem, unless you're dealing drugs or some such. Buildings with badlooking fasades are filled with apartments of quite a high standard, so it may look a bit run down but in reality they're not. I checked the stats of homicides for London and Sweden (about the same population) and London has around twice as many. Not trying to whitewash Sweden, but you need a bit of perspective. Guns has come from the Balkans, mostly, and are most commonly used by criminal gangs to kill members of rivalling gangs. Problematic areas do exist, parts of RosengÃĨrd may be one, though I haven't seen it myself, but they are not static, one day it's this area and the next it's another
homicide rate per capita in UK is slightly lower than in Sweden. Why would you compare the capital of a country to an entire country? Crime rates are always worse in large cities. Compare London to Stockholm instead in that case.
Edit:
You were in fact wrong about the numbers to begin with, London had 103 murders in 2023 and Sweden had 121. You were probably looking at the stats for only Stockholm. There were 103 murders in London in 2023, 53 in stockholm. London had just under double the amount of murders as Stockholm with a population over 5x the size.
Your comparison of London and Sweden does not work simply because of density. 10 million+ ppl living in one "small" area will naturally have more violent crime than if you space those people out over a very large area. If you had a city liek london in sweden we would see more similar numbers as well no doubt although I'm sure the numbers are not what you said, that sounds ridicolous with all due respect.
@@AjZ530 It seems that you are correct. Pretty sure I wasn't looking at stats for Stockholm, but indeed I was wrong.
It's very true that cities like London, Stockholm, and Paris have higher numbers of crime in general (not only homicides), or it can be debated, hunting guns are more common in the countryside and crimes such as rape are less reported, but I digress.
Anyways, my point still stands, of the people I know relatively well, let's say 100 people, "only" two has been victims of crime, none fatal.
So you think I grew up in LidingÃķ, Enskede, or Danderyd?
No I was in the burbs, I don't know your age but the 70ies in TyresÃķ made you get street smart fast, and the 80ies and 90ies in HagsÃĪtra, Tensta, VÃĪllingby, Handen, Hjulsta, Rogsved and so on were no joke. Still practically nobody got hurt.
Sure, I haven't been to Stockholm much for the last 15 years since i live in MalmÃķ and Ronneby now, not sure if that proves my point or not. It seems like many point at those two cities as worse than Stockholm. I really don't know.
All I know is that I feel perfectly safe having 15 beers and walking home in the middle of the night
@@matshjalmarsson3008 Your point literaly doesnt still stand. The exact stats that you used literally disprove your whole argument lmao. Per capita Stockholm has significantly more murders than london, let alone the whole country. Regardless of how you percieve your safety the statistics disprove your point completely
Bad of a condition? I do not get it, looks like normal apartment buildings to me. Maybe I am too swedish, used to seing houses like that but I feel like he is exaggerating.
I agree!
fully agree. There are areas like this all over the country. They don't look that bad. Only that RosengÃĨrd is larger than most of these type of suburbs, that's it.
Yeah. I really don't get it.
The police carry guns in Sweden.
There are a lot of shootings and gang-related violence. Not only in MalmÃķ.
We even have police snipers. think some have Mp5 or similar in cars too.
Think it was ESC in malmÃķ they had snipers on roof.
Those apartments are privately owned probably and people rent, the people weren't placed there or atleast not all of them its just what they could afford, those apartments doesn't even look that bad they are just old.
The apartments were probably built long before the big immigrant wave too.
They're from the 60s, and yes, most probably owned by one of the many rental property corporations. They're not bad at all honestly, they're affordable, sturdy and convenient.
Stockholm has goten worse my cusin hears gun shots sometimes these last years. Never heard them before.
Even before the Schengen agreement, border crossing between the nordic nations was pretty open and loose. It's a bit like visiting your brothers house. You might knock on occation, but you don't really need a good reason to visit.
Also, the guy is quite uninformed. None of those buildings are public housing or government housing. They're buildings owned by landlord corporations. Some of the corporations have contracts with municipalities to help prevent homlessness, but for the most part it's just affordable housing. And the buildings aren't rundown, they're generally reasonably taken care of and were built to last, but they -are- 60-70 years old, so the finish is a bit chipped.
So, this might sound like word picking, but it's public housing (universal) and not social housing (selective). We hardly have any social housing since we in general prefer universal solutions over selective ones.
This kind of areas started out as projects (called Miljonprogrammet) back in the late 60's/ early 70's as a response to an unsustainable and urgent housing shortage. It all seemed to be very well planed in detail for what's needed in an apartment, what was needed in the area etc. They kept the rent low and to begin with, it was diverse with a lot of different social groups. Bit by but the social problems arose and those who could afford to move somewhere else did so. Step by step this areas was looked upon as problematic areas and the landlord didn't care of the "trashy areas filled with trashy people". And what you see now is the result. So no, it wasn't built to dump unwanted people somewhere where we couldn't see them, rather a "white flight" and nowadays the areas are so neglected that no one wants to live there if they have another option (afford something more pricy, buy your own apartment or stay with your parents for longer). Therefore this areas are characterized by low socioeconomic status, often social assistance, and a lot of immigrants live there since they don't have any other options. Unfortunately it's just a down going spiral as these areas ends up being the only place poor people can afford whereas others don't want to take a single step in those hoods.And voila, you have social exclusion, poverty, social disorganization and crime.
There's also a few examples of landlords who have renovated and improved the standard, resulting in a massive increase in rent that the current tenants couldn't afford and therefore ended up homeless. At that point the landlord was accused for forcing poor people to move away, while the landlord just shrugged like "well it's not my responsibility to make sure everyone has somewhere to live". Imo, that's the true out of sight out of mind.
So yes, there is huge inequalities, housing segregation and a lot of problems following.

I'm sorry Dwayne, but I'm going to have to rant a little about this particular video.
Saying that MalmÃķ is very dangerous is like saying London is very dangerous and you shouldn't go there.
Sure, crime has gone up a lot in this country, but compared to the rest of the world Sweden is still among one of the safest countries you can live in.
Those blocks were a part of a old, massive social housing program from the 60's, it was created way before the wave of immigration hit the continent. They where built as a response to the housing shortage back then in combination with the economic boom back then.
The reason why they're in such bad condition is most likely very varied since parts will be privately owned and some will be for rent, these houses were already old before most of these immigrants probably even moved there. And the housing shortage was yet again back in full swing as they came here, so when every new development built thereafter either was in high demand with long waiting lists or just insanely priced. It's not exactly weird that the newly arrived people with next to no financial capital ended up living these areas.
Is it a good choice for the people, no. Is it a good choice for the country, no. But the politicians made them anyways and now we are reaping what they sowed. Of course integration won't be successful when the political choices are made that then puts all the immigrants in one place so that a cultural and societal echo chamber is created for them.
You can claim that the mural makes the place feel depressing, but it was most likely made by immigrant artists. I personally feel like it would be more depressing if it was a picture of a stereotypical Swedish mother holding her baby, this at the very least acknowledges the immigrant population and highlights their existance rather than pushing them even further under the rug.
Also malmÃķ is safer than London.
RosengÃĨrd was a nice place to live when it was new. In Sweden, we have tried to mix different cultures to get new residents to enter society, but once new residents get to choose where they want to live, they gravitate to each other, which is understandable. Which has created a gap. the language is not so easily learned and it becomes a we and them society. Read about the statistics on crime in Sweden.
Damn, look how there's a bit of dirt from air pollution on the side of that half a century old building. I can't believe he risked his life like that.
Ohh no. Please don't tell me you reacted to that clown. I will watch it, but oh boy, that guy..
As someone who grew up in the hood, Spanian is someone that's relatable and he just seems like a normal guy from where I used to live. Which happens to also be in MalmÃķ lmao. What's the issue with him lol?
With all due respect - you appear to be an example of the type of people who think it helps to cover up the problems because "racist" instead of solving them. Instead of commenting on the problem being revealed, you go after the messenger.
â@@ahkkariq7406 Since you seem to be offended by my comment.
I grew up in the Ica NÃĪra building on Amiralsgatan, less than a strone-throw from RosengÃĨrd. I spent quite a lot of time in RosengÃĨrd and in RosengÃĨrd centrum. RosengÃĨrd centrum was pretty good back then, with a bunch of interesting stores, food and spices from all over the world. Today, I can't really say.
Some of the estates is in a disarray, but they are mainly owned by small private landlords who goes all in for profit. But this does not give this Australian tough-guy the rights to walk around and point and touch peoples balconies while continuesly offending just about everyone who lives in the area.
If he would like to raise an issue - Do it the right way - Speak to the locals, speak to the municipality. Playing that music while walking around and speaking without knowing Anything about the place is not the way to do it.
Like a lot of people already wrote, RosengÃĨrd as an idea, was good, and it worked very well in the beginning. Some of the inhabitants are Swedes in the 80s who still loves their RosengÃĨrd - One of them is a relative to myself.
I have no idea how racist made it into your comment or how you managed bend and turn my comment into a racial thing, but doing so, sort of makes me think you are a part of the larger issue.
As already mentioned in other comments RosengÃĨrd was not built as an area to âdump poor people and immigrantsâ. It was not considered a ghetto when it was new. People were happy to live there and not all flats are part of the public housing scheme, some are privately owned. It is also important to remember that it is very close to the centre of MalmÃķ. Itâs less than 4 km from RosengÃĨrd Centrum (the shopping centre) to the centre of MalmÃķ. RosengÃĨrd station is new, inaugurated in 2018, but already before then it was easy to go from RosengÃĨrd to the centre of MalmÃķ by bus or bike. I used to work in the tall building featured in the video. Itâs actually an office building called Tre SkÃĨne. RosengÃĨrd may not be the prettiest area in MalmÃķ, but I would not consider it âvery, very dangerous â.
I just had a realization as to why in Finland there isn't many crime at night around houses, i just saw your video about the Finnish conscription and since 93% of men know how to handle themnself people don't try to rob your house
32:50 That is official art comissioned by an artist. The buildings seems to be quite modern in good condition.
Probably like in Norway - the authorities choose to finance some beautiful works of art here and there to cover up the decay, when what you really need is something completely different.
Driverless trains have been a thing since the late 90s. Used on the first time in KL, Malaysia 1999, and had been around for years there
Looks like normal apartment buildings to me ðĪ·ðŧ We have the same in Finland. That's not a ghetto, slum, social housing or "projects"..just houses with apartments that can be bought or rented.
Probably filled with (mostly) normal people, normal families. I don't get how Spanian can draw those conclusions when he clearly has absolutely no idea how our societies are constructed.
Of course some areas are worse than others, but to call that a slum..c'mon, mate!
It is not a problem that is concentrated to certain cities, it has spread to every little town.. it is kind of concentrated to certain areas but it is getting worse by the day.. we also have, by far, the most bombings in a non war state of Europe... Besides from this, Sweden is a lovely place!
One thing he gets really wrong is that he thinks privately owned homes are necessarily nicer. Isn't that how it is in Sweden, we have a large proportion of rental apartments that are owned by the municipality, about 40% of all Swedes live in such, they are also found in the inner city. I don't think RosengÃĨrd is that ugly, looks like a fairly normal Swedish suburb, sure it won't win any prizes for Sweden's nicest place, but it's perfectly fine there.
When it comes to murder, Sweden and Great Britain are fairly equal, however, there are more people who are killed by shootings per capita in Sweden, it is more common with knife violence in the UK.
Of course, crime has increased in Sweden, but it was also from very low levels, so today we are at an EU average. But murder in particular was actually higher in both the 60-70s and 80s.
You could say that there are more people who are completely law-abiding today, but there is also a larger group that makes a living entirely from crime, and within that group there are many with capital for large-scale violence.
While RosengÃĨrd might not be the best area, I don't think the houses themselves are the problem. You can find uglier ones in Finland because we had to build them cheaply and quickly after WW2, and it was a lot better than just let people freeze to death. The houses were modern for its time and there was tons of green areas surrounding them, something that Finns (and I bet Swedes too) value a lot.
for me as finnish, those apartments doesen't even look that bad. When mentioning bad looking apartments, im thinking like soviet blocks.
As a swede I'm tired of people from other countries expecting sweden and swedes to be oerfect and a paradise. We of course have problem as everyone else.

It's not social housing and those buildings are 60 years old. I think they look pretty good for being built 60 years ago.
Coming from Australia, going from Copenhagen to MalmÃķ (in three trains!) and then walk around for an hour in RosengÃĨrd without talking to anyone obviously doesnÂīt make you an expert. Se the comments below...
21:30 I don't see why this is "neglected"... or even "bad quality" really...
It's indeed boring and ugly, sure, but it was just as boring and ugly when it was new around 1968-72.
As someone who is from MalmÃķ.. It is for sure neglected. Not all of them but a lot. Some are also student housing etc
@@AjZ530 "Neglected" in what way? We got the same type of areas outside Uppsala that looks very much the same. No one talks about them as physically "neglected". But they sure got problems regarding crimes and unemployment. (Some of them are student accomodations here too.)
@@herrbonk3635 For example, many are rented out by landlords who couldn't care less about anything but money. They don't care about fixing any issue that comes up in the flats, there has been many reports of flats being well below standard and nothing being done about it. RosengÃĨrd is the poorest area in sweden (lowest income), the landlords know that and they know people often can't afford to move so they just don't care
18:31 i dont think he has seen buildings in bad condition because thats just called "an old buildning" not "a building in bad condition" because aging buildnings looks like that but i can guarantee you they are in great condition
20:00 thats just the home owners that dont care about how it looks, which in my opinion is pretty bad but its not thats its in "bad condition" its just vegetation
20:38 i wouldnt say that bad quality its called a fence, and they look like that to make them stronger while still cheap to manufacture, nad as i mentioned eralier its old buildings they wont be super colorful and i would not trust him as i dont think he has any clue of what hes saying.
21:12 just so you know if you havnt figured it only on the surface and they wont tear down it because of the costs, so they just renovated the buildings, and because of their age they are cheap,
22:51 no shit they are numbered it so people know which house is which and its not random its following the swedish numbering standard, which i dont know of the top of my head but this guy clearly isnt a person to trust when it comes to housing, should they write something like, ByggmÃĪstar huset, no they wouldnt because then they would run out of names and google maps and gps would be practicly un-usable
28:46 well no and yes because not all of thoose houses are public there are privetly owned ones it just hard to see which ones are which because they where orignally built by the same company that then sold them off
Hi, I'm new to your channel. You seem like a really nice guy and it's nice to see someone being excited about Sweden. We have both good and bad, like every other country. I hope you won't be disappointed when you go here. Like others have said these big housing projects were built a long time before we had any immigration to speak of.
These foreign agitator-type clowns are always so bloody ridiculous.
I'm a Swede living in Helsingborg (recommend you coming here, it's very pretty) and in the south part there are lots of the run down apartments and shootings/assaults/drugs are more common. The more north you get the more rich the people are and it's very noticable. You can walk from the south to the north in less than one day and see the clear difference. These more getto like areas are very common in the major cities in Sweden, however I must add that the cities sometimes throw money to spice up the place and make it more habitable. Also lots of apartments get renovated when someone living there for long either dies or moves away so the apartments can look really fresh and nice on the inside, but that raises the rent. My current apartment is in one of the areas that has been very getto when I was younger and Helsingborg city has had a big project making the area nice again, it's very beautiful around here now, lots of parks and playgrounds and they even fixed the pool and made a splash pad next to it but some of the houses hasn't been renovated yet and still look depressing and run down. The area I live in is called Fredriksdal if you're interested in looking stuff like this up after this video. Also if you ever come to Helsingborg for a day or a couple of days I'm more than happy to help you with the tips and info you need, or guiding you around the city!
EDIT: RosengÃĨrd is very run down and we have a lot of conrete hoods where the poor and immigrants mostly live, it's sad.
Iâm from the Hood, in my case Rinkeby. Never saw any guns, just really good Turkish groceries. It is a very area specific thing I believe. And RosengÃĨrd is ground zero. Check up *grenade* violence.
MalmÃķ, Not Malmo. He should try to find letters in his keyboard. ð
In sweden we have what we call. Ebo with is a law that let immigrants decide for themselves where to live and the majority chose to live in places like this to be close to other immigrants from their countries. They can move to a swedish area. I dont concider rosengÃĨrd as swedish because no swedish people live there.
Out of 300.000 people in MalmÃķ near 30.000 are Danish.

39:44 imo, thereâs absolutely nothing wrong with areas like that. Cheap, easy, calm, and more. Sweden was suffering from housing shortages so this was their solution, and im completely fine with it, not a big problem.

I'm a Swedish native, and i live in BiskopsgÃĨrden in Gothenburg, one of the so called hoods. I've lived here for 12 years and grew up on a small island on the coast.
I like it here. I like many from other countries, but I think a dialectic approach is essential to solving most problems.
There is an inherent problem with immigration. Regardless of where you are from or where you move, there will be issues.
We all have a filter of thought and opinions that filter our reality. It is based on many integrated structures and systems. One of those systems is our languages, another system is what we think we know about things. When we think we know about something, we perceive reality through our biases. Everyone does this. Me included. Racism is real. That is a fact. But, perceived racism, and the opinion that "you are X therefore you think y therefore when you say A you are really saying B" is a dangerous illusion that causes many problems.
Many in BiskopsgÃĨrden thinks that Swedes are racists because we don't smile at people we don't know. From the Swedish perspective, looking at people you don't know and smiling at them would be a bit weird and slightly rude. That is the collision of two biases.
There was a big debate about Swedes not offering food to immigrant children who are over to visit their own children.
The foreign perspective was that this was because of racism.
From our perspective, that is not true. When I was a child and I was at a friends house I was very rarely offered food if that hadn't been planned. If I was offered food, I had to call to my parents, ask if it was OK if I stayed for dinner, and then eat at my friends house. The reason is that parents of child A don't want to annoy parents of child B by giving child B food. Maybe child B's parents is cooking and call in an hour and say to their child that it's time to come home for dinner? Saying that the kid already ate would be considered impolite. Offering assistance is often considered impolite in different situations in Sweden unless you see that someone is really struggling. "Why are you offering me assistance? Are you implying that I can't take care of myself?", so, we most often wait until someone asks, or only offers help if someone is obviously struggling.
For any form of integration to work between any culture, there has to be a very open dialogue. We have to be open with the fact that we don't understand each other, while also trying to, when it's possible, have a generous interpretation of others actions and words, and realize that we are not viewing reality as it is. We are viewing reality through a filter of ideas and emotions and experiences and convictions. Those things often lead us down the wrong path.
At the same time, personal responsibility is very important. It is not OK to run around shooting people, robbing people or being rude to people just because you think you live somewhere that you consider bad. As I said, I live in BiskopsgÃĨrden. I've had shooting right outside my window. But, I also have a great and wonderful nature reserve right outside my other window. Just a few minutes away I have a great pond where I often sit. It's full with cool animals and plants. I often see lizards and snakes and frogs and cool isopods and bugs. It's a luxury that you can't find in the more central parts of the city. That's one of the reasons I really like living here. I don't have to spend as much money on rent, I have cool places to walk. The shops around here has much better spices for better prices and in larger containers. Good luck finding a larger container of sumak for a reasonable price downtown. Also, there is less noise, except for a gunshot or two, and when I lived in central Gothenburg I felt a lot more preassure to always dress proper. I like that people are more relaxed around here, and there is actually just a 20 minute ride on the tram to get into central Gothenburg if you want to. Where I grew up I could spend half an hour on my bike to ring the doorbell at a friends house, just to find out they was busy. People often talk about gun violence and make the hilarious connection between lack of youth centers and gun crime. Seriously? There is a ten minute walk to a youth center from here. It has a recording studio. Where I grew up I walked for over half an hour to play billiards at our youth center. And there is a youth center in the woods right outside where you could do most things. It really isn't as bad as people think, but thinking that things are terrible makes people behave terribly, and that is sad. That applies to both the left and the right, to native Swedes and immigrants. We are all idiots. Me to!
Our normal police officers do actually carry guns, but we also have a kind of police called ordningsvakt, and they don't carry any guns with them.
Its a good thing people from other countrys show this. Because swedish national media
will not show this because "there is no problem" with imigration in Sweden.
Now Im confused!
Where is the GUN CRIME that this videos of his was going to show that its the _capital of the, I seen and heard worse in other cities in Sweden and in other countries. I was born and have lived in MalmÃķ all my life and its not as bad as its been shown.
One reason is that our laws is from the Stone age.
And Swedish people see that everyone is ecual, one big reason why they don't really punish people that hard. If you are an immigrant and you kill someone, they treat you the same as if you are a normal Swedish dude. Police prioritize so strange things over here you have no idea...
42:57 not everyone wants to live in a bustling city my guy, nice things, there are parks, greenery, 10 minute walk and youâre in nature
We have self-serve stores without anyone working there.
Uber in Sweden is just like any other taxi company. UberPop doesn't exist here.
Yes, I know this looks a bit bad for us Swedes, with the moods and all the weapons, but I'll try to explain. We don't have such strict laws that make it easier to smuggle. For example, a lot is smuggled through letters and by hiding weapons in the car (Because those responsible do not have time to check so closely).
Regarding our laws, many older criminals use children and young people, to get them to commit the crimes for a reward.
This usually only happens in small towns that are known for their crime and possibly in Stockholm but then without weapons (Because Stockholm is full of money).
This means that the more well-known criminal areas are not equipped because no one wants to equip them.
Hope that helped a little, bur yes itâs extremely terrible ðĢ Iâm not feeling so good after locking at this
The architecture in the hoods of Sweden is called Miljonprogrammet. (The million programme). it is actually inspired and based on Soviet architecture. When they built these ugly buildings in MalmÃķ and the suburbs of Stockholm, they actually used Soviet building blueprints.
No, they hadn't.
MalmÃķ is not really unsafe, it is a very safe city. Only 1 person was killed in a shooting in MalmÃķ last year. The city is much safer than most other cities.
What you should know about RosengÃĨrd is that it was bould to be living quarters for immigrant people that came to work in MalmÃķ in the 1960s and 1970s, my dad was one of them and he worked as a welder in Kockums builder boats and things like that. RosengÃĨrd was built sometimes in the 1960s so ofcourse it will look old, the train stop there open in 2018 and the building are from 1960s. Does your buildings that were built at that time look better.
Immigrants live there because its one of the cheapest places to live in and no its not all goverment housings, its just what he sees from the outside and many apartments have been renovated on the inside. By the way, most buildings in MalmÃķ look like that, only in the new parts of the city there are new building and they cost a fortune to live in.
You're already right, there's tons and tons of videos of self-driving taxicabs on youtube and tiktok. I believe they're testing it out in a city in the us but I don't remember what city. Of course there's room for improvement but from what I've seen it's actually pretty neat ðĨ°
Those look like normal apartment buildings to me.ð Just old ones. Newer or very old houses (the pretty ones in Stockholm) are more diffrent but these look normal ð
The "Million Programs" were done when we needed 1000's of workers in the 60's and 70's. We needed factoryworkers like there was no tomorrow, and that's why we needed fast built and large areas of public housing... There are areas like these in most larger citys. I think this video paints RosengÃĨrd like beeing huge. It's big, but it is still just a part of MalmÃķ. He should've filmed the ""chinese wall"... And he might have slided into other areas outside RosengÃĨrd...
These types of apartment blocks can be found in almost every city suburb area in Sweden. I've lived in several of them and they are mostly very high standard inside and not social housing in anyway. As a teen, my first appartment was in one of those areas in Kristianstad (norteast SkÃĨne) and it was cheap and beautiful. RosengÃĨrd has gotten a bad rumor due to gangs and drugs, issues that any major city in every country struggles with. Cheap affordable housing tends to be favorites for immigrants because they are cheap but still have a high standard. With free choice of school, healthcare and dental for children wherever you want. There are huge possibilities for kids to go to whichever school they want to, if they desire to leave their area. so much money are spent in these parts with high immigration populations but projects fail because they arent being used. I was part of one of those projects many years ago when I naively thought bringing a bit of Sweden to these areas to exchange culture and get to learn from eachother failed because it was only us volunteers who were there every week for months. Im not sure what the solution is, but I do know that Sweden has tried and continue to try to get these areas better for everyone.
14:00 You could also take the boat/ferry to Norway (Stavanger, Haugesund or Bergen).
Then when you are done with say Bergen, or Oslo, take the train to Stockholm. ð
Oh come on those are just old buildings. Of course somethings is bad but that dude makes everything look bad. That is just ridiculous. I live in a similar building in another town and I don't think it's that bad.
Actually people live in Malmo, it's cheaper, and go to work to Copenhagen. Most often Swedish gangs commit criminal offences on Danish territory. And situation is bad not only in Malmo, but everywhere in Sweden. Guys from a journal "Kvartal" have started counting gun violence in Sweden - almost every day is an "event", not only in the ghettoes... Not fun.
RosengÃĨrd Centrum isnt a shopping mall. Its a small area with shops that every subway station or train station has in a major city. I can tell you there is no such thing as Swedish in that "Centrum" , the immigrants have made it to their own place, and its so bad.
Well you should take a good look at UK theese days. The slmus there is WAY worse than in Sweden.
A big part of why it looks so depressing is the snow that ads gloom to how it looks. At summer these places are much nicer with people walkning around in then, and cildern playing. So there is a lot of stuff that needs too be done in RosengÃĨrd. But is not as bad as he makes it look. And whe he blames "the lefties" he totalay miss that it is the rightside gouvernments that has foresaken thees areas in Sweden.
I'm sure it looks a lot better in Sweden than in most countries but in Sweden it almost seems like they built these areas to be as segregated as possible. In normal countries they try to mix different types of housing in one area (apartments, houses, public, private etc), with different social classes. In Sweden they went full segregation in regards to apartment blocks in the suburbs. Unfortunately a majority of Swedes will never realize this simple concept.
@@777mannen-bx5ji The did not build it to be segregaed at all. When theese areas where buildt it whas to provide good an afrodrable housing for for the Swedish working class. These areas was built when imigration whas not a big thing in Sweden.
At the same time as these areaes whas built there werre many social reforms to help the working class to get a higher linvingstandard all around Sweden. All though the houses seems run down and old to day, they where consicerd beeing qute luxirous and modern at the time.
If you look at simliar architecture in, let's say Stockhom, you find a lot of luxury apartments in them today.
But RosengÃĨrd IS an are where bad landlords have been abel to buy big buildings and then julst neglegted them. I a true capitalistic maner. This as the common velth just sold these apartment complexes to save som money, during the privatization boom at the early 2000s here in Sweden.
@@rockcanem They were never meant to be segregated areas.. but today we know better. In other countries they have either teared areas like that down... or mixed in other types of housing, so you don't end up with 100% project areas going on for kilometres. Sweden should do something about the segregation in an area like this today and not just ignore it.
@@777mannen-bx5ji
Thatâs just not true, like take Kirseberg or Sofielund as an example, theyâve got nice old row houses next to the apartment complexes and theyâre seen as two of the worst areas of the city?
@@Elis_Gallacher Travelling around the world I did find Swedish cities unusually segregated. Not too aware with MalmÃķ but Rinkeby/Tensta/Gottsunda and many other areas are not exactly a mix between different types of housing. Not to mention inner city Stockholm which is more or less a safe haven for the white Swedish upper class. Stockholm to me is a prime example of a segregated city.
The numbers of the houses are normaly even numbers on one side of the street and uneven numbers on the other side but since the houses here are scattered it probably seems weird if you donât know this. In Stockholm if you want to know were number 1 is compared to for example number 50 you should know that where ever you are in the city the numbers start from the direction where the castle is.
It is so bad that some weeks ago a dad that tried to show civil courage got shot dead in front of his son. Sow it is bad but I have never seen it irl because I live in a very calm place but there are shootings in the places around mine.
If you land in CPH and want to go to Sweden. It is just down the escalator inside the airport, to track 1. Easy.
It mostly happens in these areas but there are still a lot of murders and gang fights all over sweden
Its isolated in areas like you said. GÃķteborg, Stockholm and MalmÃķ for the most parts. The worst one is MalmÃķ. Theres usually no issues in the other parts. I live in Kalmar, we do have shootings ofcourse, but not more than before. We dont have the same crime in smaller cities.
Also about the ticket: You can act like a tourist in Sweden for everything. I do that everytime im in Stockholm, i have no idea about the ticket system there as we have different systems. So they let you go anyway. If i KNEW i would ofc buy a ticket, but latest time i was there i had no idea what kind of system they used.
We have similar place in NykÃķping called brannkÃĪrr, not as big as RosengÃĨrd, where there have been many car and apartment. I lived there for 4 years and there were 4 bombs at that time.
Lots of other Swedes here closing their eyes to the reality of the situation. It was once pretty much all contained to southern Sweden and larger cities.But through the drug peddling kingpins, their gangs, and their fucked up way of recruiting minors(Who've fled the country to operate these things in either their country of origin, or countries they have family in(like Turkey)) - These things have spread rapidly acrosst the country, and I knew of several locations that have been severly compromised through these drug gang and smuggling ring operations.
The lax border control is essentially how guns ended up being smuggled into Sweden btw(I remember some pretty big incidents that started around 2008-2011). Frankly the country has been far too trusting, and ignorant of the culture that can come of life being cheap in various dysfunctional countries. By now, in many places, gun control is a more a thing on paper than it is in reality. And ridiculously enough, it's being used to make it harder to get a hunting license, or hunting rile - When it's very blatantly NOT there that these criminals get their weapons from. It's just typical political nonsense where they want to look like they're doing something, and rather than actually tackling the real issues, they make things worse elsewhere.
I'm not sure if Sweden can ever get back reasonable gun control without implementing a sort of dictatorship rule, that would just make everything much, much worse.

And this is why Sweden has a high crime rate while Norway don't...
We do have low quality social housing too.
But we've never constructed outright ghettos like Sweden have...
You always have mixed communities here.
And there's been a effort to spread out immigrants and refugees over the whole country and to mix them with locals.
It doesn't always work, and we do have some rough areas in Norway too.
But nowhere near the Swedish scale.
30:27
You got the intention wrong.
Nordic countries built a lot of houses like this after the war.
In Norway and Denmark in part because of the damages from the war, but in all three scandinavian countries there was a shortage of urban houses as people lived in rural ones or low quality buildings, and these where a improvement.
I don't know about Denmark, nut in Norway we tried to mix them more with other building then Sweden did.
But these old low cost buildings intended for locals ended up being used by immigrants, in Swedens case forming ghettos...
Yeah, these buildings are not pretty, but they are fairly typical 1960s flats. In the 60s when rhey were all built, they were probably considered semi-high standard flats, because in the 40s and 50s a lot of Swedes lived in overcrowded homes, with quite low standards. The idea in the 60s was to build a million homes in 10 years so Swedes could live more comfortably (no more than 2 people per room). It was only later that these suburbs became the home of immigrant communities (due to Sweden's failure with integration)
As some others already have said, this was built to make housing for a lot of people in a short period of time.
However, the exterior of the buildings aint the most beutiful. But the interior isnt that bad. They are pretty decent.
Also wanna add, that was prob not a police helicopter he saw in the video, was most likely a plane. MalmÃķ Airport aint far away from where he is. Only about 20-25km away.
So a fair bit of missinformation here in all honesty.
In all these areas they are separated with park-like areas, playgrounds, football fields.
There are both apartment buildings and condominiums in similar buildings. So there are no ghettos.
In Sweden, it is allowed to have businesses that are aimed at different immigrants
Tjats not bad about 1963 we moved to MalmÃķ âmiljonprogrammetâ to kraven toilett outside and to have shower and hot water lovely
Worked in MalmÃķ 2023 and visitkort my street from them, still nice
In Norway there is electric big boats no human drivers onboard transporting Ekornes Furniture
Its the projects. We even used the same word.
Well, I lived in Australia for three years and itâs not like they donât have bad houses there.
Yes itâs OLD houses there, built 60 years ago but he obviously donât know that course he donât seem to have checked out anything about Sweden
Still he try to behave like heâs an expert about Sweden which he so obviously are not
21:34 this is correct realistic we are small country. We donât have a lot of money and what would you expect from a high criminal activity area donât forget we got affected by the war in Ukraine and the pandemic
The segragation is a problem, for sure (here, immigrants get to choose, and they understandably want to live with people from their part of the world).
However, I don't think the buildings are quite as run down as he wants to project. They are really ugly and uninspring, yes. It would be a much nicer feeling if it were summer. Leaves on all those trees, grassy parks and kids playing basketball etc.
I don't think the house itself looks bad to live in, then the fact that there is crime there is very sad.. but it's certainly not cheap rents there.. But I don't know.
Everything is safe. It's similar to other countries, but probably better. What stick out is gunrelated violence. But that is an old issue that we (I am a former "Social field officer/worker") warned about already in the 90's so nothing is unexpected or surprising. I don't feel unsafe anywhere. But... Social media pumps it up, and people come to irrational conclusions, and therefore understandibly become a bit worried. So... It's like the rest of the world. The gun issue will pop-up elsewhere also, we we're just early adopters.
About self driving taxis, there is already Waymo. But yeah, Uber is probably also preparing it.
You should land at the copenhagen international airport Kastrup and from there you buy your ticket for the Ãķresund train and it will take you from the airport in copenhagen to central train station in malmÃķ. Dont know where his airplaine landed if he needed to take 3 trains to get to malmÃķ. You can buy a ticket for the train either by the machine that are at the airport just before you go down to the train or at the casher that is located just beside the machines. One way ticket is about 15 to 20 euros.
Sweden has an increased problem with criminal gangs. But the idiotic terms âGun crime Capitalâ or ârape Capitalâ are created by right wing fringe influencers to whip up anti immigration sentiment. You can almost hear it just by the stupid notion of calling a country a Capital for effects.
Iâm not a fan of Swedish immigration politics myself and organised crime needs to be fought, but MalmÃķ is number 12 in Europe in terms of crime ratio, after cities like Paris, Lyon, Birmingham, Naples, Marseille etc. As for murder ratio, the MalmÃķ area has just over 1 per 100â000 2023, which has been pretty much the same for 40 years. As comparision, worst city in the US, new Orleans, had 193 homocides per 100â000. That fact check took 5 minutesâĶ..
Saab the auto brand also sells military weapons.
We didn't had much of a border control before the "schengen agreement" either. Neither to Finland or Norway.
One could turn that argument around: Yes, Sweden stepped up (along wirh Germany) during the 2015 migrant crisis. Sweden allowed more asylum seekers to stay (per capita) than any other European country. Have Sweden failed at integrating our large immigrant communities? Yes. But other countries wouldn't even let them in (much less stay), so in a way I'd say Sweden is the lesser of the evils. ð
Thing is MalmÃķ is usually the first place where the immigrants arrive and since there was SOOO many people that came at once it just became absolutely crowded to the point of people not having roofs over their heads almost. So when they finally get to settle they stay in that same area they got to know when they arrived. This was the fastest way of housing people, sad but true. Thereâs similar areas around Gothenburg and Stockholm as well. Not quite as bad but still not good.
Look at these neighborhoods in other countries and swedens vwrsion will look like a hotel resort
In Finland the "Beginning of winter is after summer. There are four seasons here. Almost winter, winter, again winter and mosquito season. I copied this from another Finn so if he sees this then I apologize. ð But the statement is true.
Ye these gettos was originally intended for Swedes, just happened to become the cheapest housing available and when the migrant crisis hits where do people go? Where itâs cheapest. Itâs only natural, sad but natural. Only way to fix it now would be trough authoritarian measures but thatâs no good either. So the government is pretty much in a bind.
One thing being done against this I guess is constantly building new modern fancy apartments so people move there instead in an attempt at lowering housing costs so people move out of the bad housing but unfortunately costs have only risen in recent years.
We have a lot of immigrants from all over the world. Of course not every people get along. 94514 people came 2023. Some of them are going to be bad.
Yes Sweden have hoods nowadays
37:01 what, should they put them in the landfill instead? ð
The purpose of the million programmes was to give afforable housing to the gigantic amounts that were needed to the facories. The goal was that they would be "transferspots" so that people followed their desire to buy and own their home.
Come the 90's, and the depression. Immigrants. I can write a book about the reasons, cause and effect and so on... These are my old hoods (I worked In an other area, and the youngsters made a lot of friend with the people of RosengÃĨrd)
Driverless taxis already exist in parts of the US at least (Waymo).
It can happen everywhere one time somone shoot behind my sisters flat
