bro does Spanian still live in the housos? why does he if he's got the youtube big bucks?

@@Wooplotno he does not

Except that bloke in Woollo that time

You use your words so well brother. Thank you for sharing this story, and emphasising the facts that you where able to get back on your feet because of people you said yourself, not so long ago you would’ve basically feared and wanted not to make eye contact with if they where crossing the same street as you. This is so candid, and respectful, you shout out to those boys who saved you. I love that brother. It’s a perception that society more often than not has of people who are simply from a different walk of life than they are. And as it so often turns out, those people more often than not actually end up being not just better, but actually real. That book that you mention, is far more valuable than any book you’ll ever find on the other side. Amongst those who just look down on everyone, not thinking for one second that there might actually be a really good story in that book, and behind that cover. That they could actually take something away of true value, instead of the false value they perceive within their pathetic obsession with materialism and status. Life has so much more to offer, and people, REAL people will actually give you so much if you just let them. And if you learn to appreciate them. Glad you found your feet king. Respect. 🙏🏻

That is interesting to know… I didn’t even know there were so many housing commission places so close to city… I knew there were some but not that many… Anyway on another note, the videos on the playlist on my channel might interest some people!

No you didn’t 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

​@@fuckgoogle9628because nothing can ever be true, right?

I really enjoyed reading your comment. It felt like these were my own memories

Awesome description of your childhood in this infamous part of Sydney. I kept wanting to hear more.

no one cares

@@charlielittle3524 yeah nah Charlie, 181 people care enough to upvote it. What you mean to say, is that you live a sad life and you don't care.

Sadly the way to resolve some of these percussion problems, is to have tougher stand on drug issue. Otherwise, there is no end to the tunnel. Have u ever wonder? How the average Joe like us is working our ass off, and these people are living day to day on Centrelink payment puffing away abusing the system!

Couldn’t agree more. He has completely turned his life around. An inspiration to all of us.

Bit of a hectic way to compliment someone

​@Bl60dmoney oath I was gonna say... needed a lil more respect than saying it like that 😂

Well facts are facts

Yea I didn’t know had so many housing commission places near the city… I knew there were some but not that many… On another note, the videos on the playlist on my channel might interest some people!

@@Younus1446 I didn't know either until I was employed as a receptionist at the little pharmacy in Poet's Corner Spanian was literally standing in front of. It was extremely eye-opening how this is the centre of the biggest city in Australia, and it makes me wonder if the HUGE communities of Aboriginals/Torres Strait Islander and Eastern European immigrants in Redfern plays any part of this urban decay.

I mean Sydney is fucking huge so no surprise

Are you still in the force? Where are you now? My friend just got out of the academy and is based at Red fern Station. Fuck that....

@@Looking-great watch out they will report you hear for any comment they dont like or shines bigger than them sadly. The 2002 lol thats when the heroin drought started now wonder he was paying $1800 a day for a shot say no more

this isn't urban decay bruh

Stay in class my g hahah

I say this with all respect to your endeavour and will. Unfortunately, urban planning is not about planning, at all. It's about representing the will of others and appeasing those that govern and those with their own self interest. An urban planner is essentially a de facto lawyer. I hope that you are able to put yourself in a professional position in which you are acting on behalf of the community, rather than in the interest of those that seek to exploit it.

@@davidbrayshaw3529 an urban planner is not a lawyer lmao, the reason we have shit cities is because the government doesn't listen to urban planners. They just let developers have free reign and build more toll roads instead of public transport. It's all about money.

No, they're not "a lawyer" at all, that is why I described them as "de facto lawyers", as they represent the wants of their clients, be they government or the private sector. They don't sit around sketching drawings with community centres, playgrounds and daycare facilities included. They go into battle on behalf of those that wish to instigate such a project. I have spent many, many nights in the company of a town planner, and on a number of occasions, her professional piers. I reserve my appraisal.@@moefoemonkey

Yeah same bro I’ve delivered been in a lot those units a lot funny experiences.. good people but straight out I rather deliver to them then people on the beaches 💯

@@keputaukafa3254 agree totally.

sad because it so expensive how are you meant to live a better life when you can hardly pay the rent .

I was also delivery driver and I have been in similar situation. I am not from Sydney, but I live in another major city in Australia. Do you mind sharing what's scary about?

@zarnitintunzanyzack delivered a fridge to an apartment once, person inside only had a mattress for furniture. When they opened the door they had a syringe in their hand. As we installed the fridge, they sat on the mattress, injected and passed out. This happened on multiple occasions. We left quietly, but the risk in there was high and the security would always warn us of risk. We are talking 10 years ago.

my bf does the same thing... some of the stories he tells me are crazy

My mates mum was a social worker for years doing visits to these types, some of the stuff she said was wild get to truly see into peoples private lives all the weird shit.

Were you with the Giraffe guys, our friendly bed bug removal specialists? We used the term "Northcott removals" - drop it straight over down to the main entrance. When I first started working around there you could still park out the front of the building. The minute you caught something moving out of the corner of your eye, you'd instinctively put your arm up to cover your head. Not that it would have done much good with a mattress if it was tossed from high enough. How some things were shoehorned into the lifts was another source of amazement.

@@PedTubeYou Awesome!! No, Turner and Son. We used to do a lot of evictions...that was fun. We'd arrive with a locksmith and the sheriff, sheriff would turf the resident and locksmith would change lock then they'd leave. We'd start packing shit, then 9/10 times resident would come back and want to punch on and take there shit back. Had a bloke attack me with a hacksaw one day, worst was a day out the back of Liverpool and a bloke shot a hole in the side of the truck!!!!!

He's a cockwomble

You don't know a bar of soap?😮

Yup

was just about to say the same thing!!

Yep, give us what we want Spanios

Columbia laughing at that rando hollering out at Spanian from his ute was my favourite part of the whole vid - a kind of reminder that no matter how big or famous someone from the block gets there's always going to be the OG bro to keep them grounded. It was either that moment or that tweaker who was all "I heard you're a rich cunt now Spanian."

More Columbia ! 😍

I hope you get the transfer that you have been applying for. I have been told by many people who have been to visit their friends at Northcotte that it is quite a dangerous place, but I've never actually known anyone who lives there. You mentioned at night that you need to double lock both the screen door & the main door, so nobody can get in your flat. I always wondered what it's like at night in Northcotte estate, maybe that's why, in Spanian's hood video, there was hardly anyone around. Probably everyone is around at night. Is there a lot of rats? anyway, all the best.

Hey thanks for commenting really appreciate it! We just got a call from housing and they said our transfer hasn’t been approved, which really brought me down yesterday. Anyway yeah Northcott is definitely different when it comes to night time, wouldn’t recommend anyone to live here. And yes the rats here are disgusting, there’s so many of them just running around. You can smell it too which makes me wanna vomit

Hi Carlee, I'm really sorry that you got the call from housing, stating that your transfer once again has been denied, I can totally understand this news upsetting you. Is there an option to appeal the decision? as I thought social housing tenants were allowed to transfer, on the provisor that if the initial transfer offer was rejected, by a tenant, then a second offer was granted, however if the second offer was declined by a tenant then no more transfere offers granted. Having said this, I would have thought if transfer offers have been made by housing and a tenant declines the offer on reasonable grounds, for instance, unable to accept a transfer offer due to the property being unsuitable because of medical issues, then I'd have thought a third offer of housing that is more appropriate to a tenants circumstance would be granted. Just a suggestion, perhaps take the matter to your local MP? They may or may not be able to assist with your transfer, though you might have already tried this avenue. How awful bout the rats being everywhere and causing a stench that isn't healthy for all you tenants and either housing or the council should be doing a mass fumigation to eliminate rats.🐀 Anyway, best wishes to you and your family, I hope that somehow a positive solution for a transfere is found. Carlee, please don't give up on your quest for a transfer. Sometimes, we have to try thousands of times before success, and you have nothing to lose and everything to gain by perseverance. Yes I know you may think it's easy for me to sit here and say this but believe me and, I never thought I'd be saying this but after many times struggling to achieve a positive outcome and failing I got back up and tried again and eventually succeded in getting what I fought so hard for, your transfer issue might seem unachievable but definitely not impossible.

People in the UK know about neighbors? Wtf 😂😂😂 tbh everyone takes the mick out of that show over here

@@icewallowcome1448 yea neighbours and home n away has been on uk tvs everyday for like 35 years

@@icewallowcome1448 bro neighbours is HUGE in the uk it's crazy

its in many countries bro @@icewallowcome1448

Neighbours represents upper middle class. Fast disappearing.

My grandparents lived in D block from the time it opened (early 60’s?????) until they passed in the late 90’s. I absolutely loved visiting them there, playing over at the park. It’s pretty heartbreaking watching this to see what has happened to the place

I think you explained a lot to me, here in Croatia like all former socialist countries we have lots of this housing but they aren't dirty or full of gangs and drugs like similar blocks in "Western" Europe. What you say about being next to affluent areas could be a reason why it so bad in Paris London etc - While here we don't have such rich/poor divide & it's not a stigma to live in social housing, maybe that's it? Stockholm is now very bad & I hate to say the hoods there are 99%immigrants (sadly often from Balkans) Anyway glad you doing OK- must say these areas of Sydney seem looked after compared to most cities but I'm sure it has it problems too Take care

Mad respect to your mum! As someone who lived at Northcott at its worst, I salute your mum! She's out-lived a LOT of others who were housed there!

amazing, why didnt she move when the place went down hill? Just curious if you dont mind.

@@krisb-travel she always said she never was going to move she wants to live out her life there. She has been there 48 years I was 14 when we mov d there She is quite upset about the government wanting to remove them units She has formed a group which protests against the demolition That's how she ended up on current affairs

Huge love to your Mum! 💫

Bosanac, lol. Means Bosnian. Nothing to be scared of in the hood as most hoodrats never left their locale, they're only tough in their little corner where they ironically feel safe as its all they know. Dudes used to try to pull some sh*t on me back in the day, they step off quickly when they realise you are not to be played with.

​@wigwam1747makes sense cause he said it's been years since he lived in the area

​@wigwam1747there's some creatures out there

It's a shame they are making some people that have been there for decades and appreciate what they have and look after it move into outer areas that kind of move can be stressful and put people in dark places and dark state of mind like they're useless

A lot of junkies, dangerous and generally unpleasant people. It's good they're being moved further away

@@HULKHOGAN1 I got an unpleasant neighbour should I tell him to move to the stick's? Also once their in the new ghettos they want to keep them in people will be crying about tax payers dollars being spent on new apartments that aren't being maintained you lot will still find something to complain about if a few bad apple's give the complex a bad name deal with them not the entire community especially the elderly and those with mental issues but I get a feeling there's no point trying to explain anything to some people enjoy your new rich snoody migrant suburbia you'll be crying about in 5 years time

i worked in Waterloo at Farmer Bros liquor in 95 and everyday we had issues with tha bruvas coming in trying to high tail it with grog and getting held up sometimes , i am amazed i didn't get shot or beaten up for the 12 months i was there but i was huge back then so i guess that might explain it.

It's not. It might not be as bad, but it is still very bad.

so bad in fact the cabs refuse to pick up anyone after dark there , even if they are straight looking and white as snow.@@aaronmckechnie4467

Yeah a shame they didn’t do South West Sydney (Claymore, Airds ,minto ) back in early 90s all those housing estates nearly gone and gentrified

​@Sargsi That's a good thing. Finally light at the end of the tunnel for Claymore

I'm really sorry about your brother and how that loss was handled. Thats horrible and you and your family deserved better. I wish you well.

It's not disadvantage when you have housing, the dole, basically free school/tafe/uni, medicare oh AND soft on crime courts to get by. Don't feel sorry for these people when they cry their crocodile tears.
