Drug crimes should not be included when discussing how dangerous an area you are in. Drug crimes are nonviolent by definition, and the drug laws were created around the world to be used against minorities and the poor while the powerful and rich do all the same drugs and more without getting in trouble for the most part.

Last year I drove through Jakomäki in Helsinki which used to be famous for being a really shady place. I was in disbelief it was so calm and rather nice there.. Many neighborhoods in Britain were so much worse.

You should try Kannelmäki or Oulu. Lived in both and both can be pretty scary places!

Lahti is called the "Chicago of Finland" due to the early industries of both cities, when they were known as slaughterhouse cities. Vlogging in Finland is so easy and fun. You can film inside of the stores in Finland (they are puplic places) but it is polite to ask for permission when filming customers.

@diego.suomessa

2 жыл бұрын

Yes I got a similar response about the Chicago topic, and yes of course it's the polite thing to do to ask for permission to film customers.

As someone who has lived in Lahti my whole life, its not the numbers, its the people and the general vibe of the city, its depressing and grey and the people especially in liipola are crazy.

If i remember correctly, in Kainuu, there was most highest homicide rate in 2016 compared to other regions of Finland.

I think the most dangerous places are big public transport locations (because of foreign pickpockets, beggars etc.), big parks and grills at night after bars close, where drunk/high people might get into fights. Most of the crime happens between people who are already part of the criminal lifestyle like alcoholics, drug addicts, gang members etc. Nothing for normies to worry about as long you're not too rude to those people and respect their personal space. E: I think even big cities like Chicago are quite safe during day time and it's mostly during the nights when you need to avoid certain neighbourhoods. You should visit some grills etc. around midnight to film what it looks like. Even then it's probably just a bunch of loud people waiting in line.

I’m originally from Lahti so I know the reputation. Usually Lahti came alive during the Salpausselkä winter games or any of the World championship games. Otherwise it’s such a sleepy town. Happy new year! May it be better than the current one. P.S. I feel a little cheated by the ”baby” pelicans… P.P.S.

I was seen someone littering there,it made the news papers even the evening news.

The term "Chicago" of finland is misused these days. back in the 70's, when the going was way wilder than now, the name came from the fact that Sopenkorpi-area had many slaughter houses and meat packing plants. Also it's a city by a large lake, just like Chicago. I have also read, that Lanunaukio is one of the most dangerous places to be moving at night. This in my opinion is complete bs. You will only have trouble in Lahti, if you're one of the junkies or mess around with drug business in other ways. An average Joe is fine here, I'd feel safer walking, heck, even passing out at Lanunaukio or Liipola than at Helsinki train station or Kontula. The people who make the claims are mostly the media trying to sell the image of some sort of fantasy gang turf. You'd probably never come across a United Brotherhood member, for example, unless you're messing with their things. they're not part of the everyday scenery. I lived in Liipola as a kid and sure I had all my bikes stolen and got bullied by the mean kids now and then and the drunks were scary sometimes, but you're not gonna get killed there if you're not messing with things you shouldn't mess with anywhere anyway. And a friend of mine grew up in Liipola too in the late 80's/early 90's. back when the area was a bit more rough, and it wasn't all that bad back then either, he says. Nobody wants to live next to a junkie or a drunk, but they got to stay somewhere too. all an all Liipola is a fine enough place as long as you have your stuff locked up tight and don't mess with tweakers or get involved with the junkies.

I lived in Liipola most of my life. There was creeps & weirdos walking around in 1990s and early 2000's but it's been relatively peaceful after that 1990s depression era.

Kicked out of the supermarket, tsk tsk. I'm just teasing. ^_^ You might want to get some business cards printed up with your KZread channel URL listed on it to give away to people who ask you why you are filming. You can tell them its for your channel and they can check it out later. That might seem a little less "sketchy" to the cashiers, that way. ;o) Thanks for these videos about Finland, I really appreciate them!

Most dangerous neighbourhood in Finland

Liipola is my childhood neighborhood in the 1980s and 90s. It had its reputation even then but it wasn't dangerous or something of that nature. More like that there were more working class people, more politically left people and in the 1990s more unemployment than elsewhere. As a kid I never felt it was a bad place to be. Let's see the positive sides: Almost walking distance to Lahti center, forest trails start from your front door, and very affordable apartments many of which have a great view, as Liipola is built on a hill.

Right?

Originally Lahti as Chicago had nothing to do with crimes. In the 1920's Lahti had a lot slaughterhouses as Chicago. The younger generations turned it to be crime related comparsion in the sixties and the seventies, when Lahti was growing fast and was in some way restless place and crime numbers were higher. Actually, Detroit would be better synonym as Detroit comes from French language meaning sound in English as geographical form and Lahti does same quite closely in Finnish language meaning bay in English.

one of the reasons why you feel Lahti is safe is exactly what you said, there are hardly any crimes for Finns. Since mainly property crimes and robberies target Finns, you are a foreigner so you will not be robbed so easily anyway.
