Lahti - the normal finnish city?

Post by Quso » Wed Sep 25, 2019 12:29 pm

i am half finnish and my relations to finland are in lahti, so i have visited the city several times.
what i hear about it from people in diffrent places, that it is the "chicago from finland" - because of crime, that it is a poor city, that it has no touristical value etc

to my opinion it is not like that - i like the city a lot and think its one of the "coolest" cities in finland

what do you think? is it that way?
what is diffrent in lahti, compared to other finnish cities?

Town with a lot of butcheries 100 years ago, just like Chicago. Town growing quickly, just like Chicago. Town that had "mobs" (read gangs), a lot of violent crime, bootlegging (the alcohol kind)... and now it called Finland's rap-capital, which sits nicely with Chicago too.

Does Chicago have a folk metal song for its football team, though ...

Doesn't Chicago have 400 murders a year? And a hell of a skyline? I have visited Lahti a few times, it's incredibly safe. I don't recall any skyscrapers :mrgreen:

Lahti's center ranks quite high on the most violent districts list: https://www.is.fi/kotimaa/art-2000005607241.html
