It’s not his fault brah, he organises with a couple of the boys to show him around and sometimes they leak that info to everyone and the whole hood catches wind and comes out for photos The Melton vid sucked but as for the start of the Logan vid that road actually had a big gathering anyway to pay respects to the anniversary of one of the boys’ deaths there, coincided with spanian coming And the Alice vid, that was just a country town on a Saturday night lol that was embarrassing

This video spun me out. It was crazy seeing my old flat on here, so many memories. My kids still go to school in Sadleir and Miller. But I do have to say that the comments on Miller High School need to be spoken about, I get how it looks but that car isn't burnt out its a workshop students get to build and work on race cars. The school is a technology high school, it also has so many other cool facilities like a in school gym and the best facility in my opinion is the music room setup. The school offers a full music production facility from writing your own beats and songs (Computers with keyboards) to a sound booth for rapping and singing. Students can pretty much produce their own music careers. Keep up the good work Spanian as these places need to be spoken about, the unit you showed where someone just moved out from was eye opening and people need to be aware of how some people are expected to live. Cannot wait to see more of the videos you put out there.

This is at least the third time I have watched a Spanian episode and thought to myself, I grew up there. In my whole 55 years, I haven't stayed in one place any longer than 4 years. So I got to learn Sydney's houso areas as they were home for stages of my life. The Mount Druitt episode, the Campbelltown episode, and now this one. All so familiar. I lived just the other side of that swamp you mentioned. It took me less than 2 minutes to get to school over that back fence of Miller Jail which was my school (Miller High School. Now I think it's called Miller Technology High School). I left Sydney for Nimbin 18 years ago, and haven't looked back. I am a real sucker for nostalgia though. Thanks Spanian.

For the people who think living in housing is a free ride i have news for you. I came from what was once a good upper average family, but things fell apart and i moved out of home when i was 15. 9 years later I ended up in housing for about 6-8 months. I met a lovely girl who i ended up marrying at one of the worst point of my life. We didnt last for unrelated reasons, years after we got out of houso. I can tell you now houso is made to feel like you want to end it. I tried my best to make my apartment better and nice but the place and people around me made it one of the hardest points in my life to try and move forward. Do i regret my time there? No not at all. Infact I think it made me a better more understanding person for those in need and helped me become a good person myself. I feel sorry for people that are stuck there with no way out, I was once there. Life can change. Help yourself.

Social housing should be to help people get on their feet. Unfortunately many stay for a lifetime and next generation. I disagree that people are allowed to stay in the one location for that length of time. No one in society lives in the same house. I myself have moved many times for many reasons. People in social housing should be made to move every three years and I feel that will help the housing also for people to declutter and clean these housing areas. There are many old social housings like maroubra and south Coogee with water views.

So glad you finally came to Livo Spanian! Born & raised in Livo, grew up on Speed St, then moved to Park Rd & went Marsden Public & halfway through yr 4 we moved to Ashcroft & literally grew up on 17 Gwynne st, 35 Stanwell Cres & 24 Strickland Cres & was there most of my life. Good to see the Backshops still thriving. That's Harry & his mum Effie & his father who use to run that joint like crazy. Best fish & chips ever! Graduated at Ashcroft high in 06 & was still in there area up until 2020. Moved to Busby for a year during Covid 2021 & finally moved back into the heart of Livo just near the Whitlam Centre & the Cemetery. Livo will always be home to me 🙌🏾 Cartwright & Miller has always been like that too! You'll come across alot of Junkies but that's everywhere you go in South West Sydney. The area is good. My family & I have never had anything bad happen to us. Maybe cause we're Pacific Islander 😅

Anyway long story short, when I was walking back along fisher St to the station, she propositioned me for a quick gobbie. I honestly thought the street hooker trade ended there around the 2010 mark ( I had an ex that lived a 15 min walk from the station so I would pass through there every so often) But apparently not...

I'm from a poor migrant family myself so I'd say I'm not privileged or anything but that last hood brought me to tears. Reminds me of videos of my home country in the 80s. And it's freaking 2024. Makes me so sad. How can society expect anything from people who live like that? I'd love to know what Spanian would say is the way to change it for good.

I lived in Heckenberg back in the early 90s and went to Miller Tafe, walking around Miller & Busby, I never had an issue. I moved to Liverpool, thankfully, never had any issues there either, even when walking the 15-20 minute walk home from Liverpool train station late at night. Relatives who still live in the area have told me, what was known as the rough side of Liverpool, such as speed street is now the complete opposite and that the side where the shops and around the hospital, are rough now. they mentioned that Warwick Farm is still rough, too. Great hood tour Spanian takes me back to times living in the area, can't believe that sadly some tenants are living in unmaintanaced properties where their next door neighbors flats are vacant and boarded up. Typical of NSW Housing, not giving a crap about the tenants or their dilapidated properties. Can't wait to see another hood tour wherever it may be. Spanian I'd love to know what your opinion as to the solution to there issues are, perhaps you cold do a video on your thoughts as it seems you have more realistic insight as opposed to what the Australian government would.

Nostalgic. Moved from Campbelltown near Airds to Sadlier when I was about 7. Airds had a rep for being rough, but Sadlier/Miller was something else. First couple of days went down to the local park to play after school and had a knife pulled on me by another kid who thought I was someone else, lol. The back of Miller shops and around the pub was an absolute no go. Not much seems to have changed, calmed down a bit it seems. Those flats on Sadlier Ave/Sutton Rd are exactly how I remember them 20+ years on. It's a ghetto but I have a lot of good memories from these places roaming around as a kid and teenager. You didn't really think much of it back then but you'd get the odd bashing and attempted rolling if you went to the wrong place. Growing up there certainly makes you appreciate things when you're older and out of it. You also learn a lot about respect. There are a lot of good people but there are also a lot of bad influences that can lead you down a really bad path.

Not only an inspiration to the lads who are perhaps growing up in the same circumstances as yourself but also valuable to the lads who were born way more fortunate. As men, born up or born down, we all hit that situation where we will need to be as capable as this lad. At 50 and as a single Father to two lads, your videos will be part of their education. Valuable stuff and not just your content but watching how you approach life in totality, head on and with a grin. I don't think you realise how much of a role model you are to lads of ALL backgrounds. What you are doing matters big time whether it was intended that way or not.

At 7:10 is actually one of the bed sitters I lived in during the 90’s. Scored at the back of Miller shops, lived in Sadler as well then just worked my way down into the pit of Liverpool. Charles st, Nagle st and finally the notorious Speed st. I managed to get out of there by the time I turned 25 but not before losing friends to heroin, suicide and getting SA’d. A cop may have killed an associate by pulling a butter knife out of his head on the front steps of Westfields that was put there by an angry Asian older brother of the kid he bullied. Had it coming but that cop should have left that knife in his head for the surgeons to deal with. Anyway. That place gave me PTSD. Only now I’m starting not to get triggered when driving through Liverpool. Since getting away from there, I turned my life around, moved to a great area by the beach and run my own business in community support. My advice to anyone still living there is to get out because the grass really is greener on the other side. ✌️

Respects to you bro if you turned things around for yourself. 90s early 2000s now I reminisce was pretty messed up. Cabra 80s - early 2000s, Kings Cross 1920s - early 2000s, Parra mid 90s to mid 2000s, Redfern till about mid 2000s. Bankstown 90s - mid 2000s, Canterbury Road 90s mid 2000s was hooker central same with Great Western Highway out Eastern Creek way. LOL the list goes on. The grass is definitely greener but in my case it's overseas. Keep on truckin' bro 👊

@1RandomMiss I thought you were a bloke for some reason! LOL You most certainly resilient to be "still standing" in Pacinos words. Oh this will be happening later this year. Barely any of today's denizens under 30 know what Sydney used to be like particularly around Cabra, The X, Parra and Bankstown. I was knee deep in all that stuff, then all of a sudden Sydney changed overnight and like many, I had to re-evaluate and look at my surroundings and environment. Tragically many people never lived to tell the tale and it feels like I've got to carry these secrets forever because it's all been forgotten. Many have said that there has been a conscious effort by authorities to cover all this up so as to not air out dirty laundry for their capitalistic visions. Oh well what do you do? Just work with what you got I guess. I'm so happy for you and hope you're living the dream that you always wanted. Be safe my friend 🧡

I was one of the lucky ones. I grew up in Heckenberg, went to Busby Public and Ashcroft High. My mum raised the 4 of us mostly on her own. I had teachers who believed in me, people who guided me on the right path, some good friends. Being poor I loved growing up around other poor people cos I had no idea anyone was poor. I just thought some were really rich cos their parents drove a car that didn't break down. But yeh now that I'm around some wealthier suburbs, everyone has problems, just different ones. My weekly visits home to Heckenberg still feels more like home than the fancy suburb I'm currently part of.

Welcome to my hood,born and raised here from the70's to currently now and my life here never improved, it just got worse with experiences in drugs,assaults,thefts in these areas but i am very proud of where i live and would never live anywhere else because the people here are so down to earth,friendly and unique. A fun fact: within a 4-kilometer radius of sadlier and Hackenburg in the 70's most of these houses were housing commission and they were built as affordable housing for new working migrants from Europe, then eventually most of the stand alone homes were sold off to private owners. 2nd fun fact: Notorious serial killer Ivan Milat picked up his first victim from here in busby' where i am at,thats up the road from miller. If i could spin my most memorable yarn from each decade from the 70's to the 2000's living in housing commission here it would sound like this. In the 70's at the age of 4 being the only European immigrant family living in our street we were subjected to racial abuse our home was constantly hit with projectiles and at the young age of 4 i was sexually abused. In the mid 80's heroin was running rampant and i think it was 5T or the triads who was running the trade at the time,but people from this area would get it from speed street livo, and that was a hot spot for uses, 4 friends of mine became smack addicts and my cousin overdosed and i had to bring her back to life. In the late 80's hip hop hit the scene and our gang adopted this culture, there was substance abuse, parties every 4th day, gang fights, large scale graffiti murals late at night, being busted by the cops and taken in for abusive disciplining. In the 90's half of the people i knew committed serious crimes, some died, some ended up in jail and some disappeared with out a trace. In the 2000's i then moved away from this lifestyle up to the northern beaches then my life completely changed for the better. 2010, i became very lonely, missed home'family and friends deeply, so i moved back to liverpool and i have been living happily ever after. and

OMG that was fascinating! I grew up in Mt Pritchard in the early 70s (went to Liverpool Girls High) and the suburbs you visited were bad even then. It was interesting to see how big Liverpool station is now, it's certainly grown a lot. It's a shame that all anyone knows about these areas now is the high rate of crime when there is actually a lot of interesting history. People settled in the area in the early 1800s and some lovely old buildings still remain. I really enjoyed this video and I'm off to look at the others. Thank you, I'm glad you popped up on my feed!
