Like this:


They are not very cheap, as Helsinki has a huge housing shortage.

Here you might find something cheap: https://www.google.fi/maps/@60.27526...pb1lPs1KvA!2e0

But Invincible, I admire your honesty. You have no ambition, no plans, you just want food on the table and a nonsense job, no difference with materia or status.

Everywhere has these places,I wouldn't call them ghettos though just run down and forgotten. Thankfully a lot of redevelopment going on these days.

The use of the word ''ghetto'' isn't needed...

if any political party in ireland suggested bringing in a food stamps programme , they would be labelled a nazi by the media and hounded out of the country ( never to return )

the wellfare state here is so ingrained that come election time , most of the parties manifestos are about increasing various benefits and i dont just mean to the unemployed , more than half the working population are on some sort of benefits and all parents of children under eighteen receive payments ( childrens allowance )

while i dont agree with TEA PARTY types or those who think universal health care is an all out attack on personal freedom , i do like how americans oppose the idea of " what can my goverment do for me " , its ingrained over here

Why not? Invincible is American, that's what we call poor areas.
