Every gang member I've ever met has been incredibly unfunny and weird but I prefer them to constant surveillance

I know that constant surveillance is not the good solution. But at the same time it sure feels good to have that when you can see with your own eyes how the gangs move indoor and away from the playground at the sound of a chopper and how much of an impact random surveillance cameras had in nailing the perpetrators for one of the nearby murders (which btw left blood stains on the way to preschool that was visible for weeks!).

Yeah. I would also add that "witness to extreme violence" isn't great either, even if it's better than victim, and that's a category where living in a sufficiently rough neighborhood can make it a somewhat realistic concern.

While surveillance has its place in particular situations (like “who loving shot someone? Check the tapes”, reasonable!), I trust this government, and others with power, as far as I can throw them.

What I fear most is that the violence will lead to further intrusive measures towards specific groups that have little do to with the actual gangs in question. Though to be entirely fair, it’s safe to say said groups have likely been hosed around with already, independent of the current wave of violence.

Weren’t the warning flags of this very thing being raised over a decade ago? It feels like it was left to fester until we got to this point. Not to mention the related issues to gang violence being shrugged at, if not ignored.

I also loving hate helicopters, albeit for an unrelated libertarian socialist/crotchety old lady reason.

they don't have anyone in particular - imo the heir would likely be søreide or asheim, with søreide as a substantially stronger bet. they do not have anyone with the gravitas of erna solberg, though. what they do have is a strong PR department who can likely do a pretty decent job with any of the candidates

Assuming you specifically are equally likely to get shot and ran over. I would think gun deaths are more targeted, either gang related or domestic violence related (or hunting related?), while traffic is more random based on location and time of day.

But yeah, I definitely thought cars killed more people.

The gang violence situation is obviously dire on a societal level, but I don't feel personally threatened by it.
It's 99% power struggles within or between criminal networks. I'm hardly going to be mistaken for a target.

The bombings are jarring but they're displays of power - not intended to harm or kill people. That is not to say that I wouldn't feel unsafe (or want to move) if I was living in a house where there was an explosion, but the chances of actually being harmed by those things are miniscule. A few years back, there was a bombing a block away and my biggest reaction was annoyance at the noise.

Hello, Malmö goon checking in. I lived across the street from Gyros Pita when I first moved here in the early 10s. They make good pizza as well.

Malmö goon here too. Have heard several bombs, very much not fearing for my life and not feeling more at danger now than before.

If you are in a criminal network, you are more likely than in a long time to be faced with violence. A new aspect is also that if you're not personally involved in criminal activities, merely being related to a gang criminal means that you are now more likely to be a victim. Vendettas among gang criminals are to a larger degree than before directed at relatives of the targets.

That said, you're still a thousand times more likely to be hurt by a traffic accident than gang or terror violence if you are not involved in a criminal network. I feel like the general mood in Malmö is better now than it was a few years ago, when car burnings was a regular occurance and there was an active gang war. That war has mostly died down. One reason you see so much more about it in media now is that it is happening more in cities closer to Stockholm, which means that It Matters in a way that it didn't in Swedish national media when similar waves of violence has happened around Gothenburg or down here in Malmö.

Taxes being decided based on whatever theorycrafting the assessors can come up with about what you could do with the land, given infinite money, is such a good idea.

Really though, those explanations seem pretty sensible, assuming it's actually true that local planning rules allow what they're suggesting. A huge parcel of land that can actually be developed should be able to be sold for quite a lot to people with the money to do that, even if the current owners don't have the means. Very much a "poo poo or get off the pot" type of system they've created though, to shift attractive properties into the hands of wealthy people.

I get that it makes sense to pay a high tax if e.g. you have a huge property in the middle of town and you're preventing development of the land, but some of the plots they're talking about here are borderline rural or on the outskirts of town.

It doesn't seem like they're taking into account whether building apartment buildings on the land would actually make sense, it sounds like they're just looking at whether the zoning technically allows for it.

If the values were realistic, ie. what you could get by selling the plot, then I could see the point. AFAIK land and real estate tend to average out as appreciating assets, so taxing based on ownership and expected increases in value seems not horrible.

But when the valuation is just way off what anyone would ever pay, that goes completely out the window.

Speaking of nollvisioner, part of Sweden's gang problem pretty obviously stems from a drug policy that goes hard on eradicating drug use through punishment instead of harm reduction.

Another consequence is that drug-related deaths are nearly four times as common (82/million inhabitants) as deaths due to traffic accidents (22/million inhabitants)
