of mental health mental health like
system yeah yeah those that you know
what those are always the worst places
because they are those very family
housing areas but like he's saying it's

crims you know and like these days
because of such an epidemic you get
people that are just like like normal

these apartments full from your
knowledge or is it half empties no

pretty much exactly what it is yeah it's
an extension he so you get out of jail
if you behave you get put into that and

yeah was my mom's been here for 38 years
now oh dead set in here specifically no
way what's it like now what's what tell
us what happens around here it's good
now but a couple months ago there was a
stabbing up the road oh was there
someone died yeah but it used to be way
better back in just the kids yeah it was
a that happened with kids and then
parent jumped in and then the kids end
up stabing the parents and oh nice so
the parent died yeah far out but in
general what is it a good good sense of
community around here yeah everyone
everyone knows everyone yeah yeah what I
noticed as soon as I walked down that
street everyone was in the streets talk
before they knew how it came they were
already there you know what I mean yeah
yeah everyone knows everyone everyone
gets your dad was it was your dad oh
yeah most of the people that start like
troubling here they all come out a b

is hey see see these cards K just found
them on the floor these are pretty boys
you know what this is if you know you
know um this is like the that the the
the cards you get for free from either
Christmas or the clinic the clinic the
clinic yeah so if you go to the clinic
they got these it's like
like Aboriginal pattern on the thing and
they and like instead of a joker they've
got like what is it he hepc
helpline and instead of like you know
how they got like the Jokers and all

back memories lad I how to feel looking
at them cards that many hours playing 41
for
years oh so that's through Legoland mad
later
[Music]
later
[Music]
sick
all right we're at Berkeley shops right
in the center of Berkeley this here this
place even though [ __ ] said this place is
probably not visually like the rest of
them because the housing in Berkeley is
more spread out with a lot of private
housing but this place has the top the
highest Chrome rate in wenong like this
is statistically the worst place in woen
gong being from here I don't know it
might be a different story but yeah just
going off the data we're in the mix of
it now lad obviously a there's a darker
side B like lots of like um like
breaking ERS around here lots of like
you know hodies and stuff like that yeah
a lot of property crime yeah bro yeah so
right next to it you got um right next
to the main shops you got blocks of
housing straight
away back when I was a kid um Nana windy
Street was Notorious what streets Nana
Wily Street was Notorious back in the
day Nana willly yeah Nana
[Music]
willly
it's a police type up
[Music]
there how you going mate I'm good
brother how are you how are you brother
how you going M it's nice to meet you
nice what's your name H Chris
doing look at the front this is telling
this this is telling you know what I
mean you can say what you want but stuff
like this is really telling so here in
the Berkeley shops The Pizza Store
wonder how much they went through before
they drilled uh prison mesh it's like
prison visits he prison mesh on the on
their front windows and doors I assume
your windows have been smashed a lot and
you've been robbed a lot to put this up
yeah they were sh shocked in there
they're like who's this person with the
camera just go they just nodded and like
get the
off hey repping it as like uh as like a
hood 50% of the people from here would
would agree and the other 50 would would
probably disagree you know yeah yeah
yeah it's like um yeah all right yeah
about 10 years ago bro like as soon as
like that Raptor thing kicked off the
cops just become heat more proactive and
just just like cleaned up everything you
know what I mean yeah yeah the Raptor
are for bikies or is it street street
crime which one's Raptor they were for
bikes they but I think now because
because bikes don't wear colors and that
that they're more proactive with um with
like street gangs and stuff street gangs
are just gangs in general yeah yeah yeah
yeah this this was a little like spot
people chill here drinky and stuff yeah
y oh yeah this is all housing here you
see Lads in the lane there spinning
out this way yep I think like
statistically like a lot of the crime
and stuff that's actually documented is
uh like a lot of like um juvenile crime
cuz I don't think that like like going
up like like around the scene myself I
feel like when you're a kid you don't
really know much better and like you
your main your main interest is not like
getting pinched yeah so like the a lot
of the crime and stuff like like rates
would go off um just like kids [ __ ]
up and getting pinched and stuff and the
copper like documented as as a stat you
know yeah yeah yeah yeah so just a lot
of Reckless Youth crime you man like
you're saying yeah I guess it's it's
very similar we go being where I was
from the in inner city is just honestly
just being a criminal was just like it's
what you do if you're one of the boys it
was it's as simple as that it's never a
thing out of like and I've never tried
to paint it as being a thing like we had
to do this to survive or if I didn't do
this I didn't eat or it's nothing like
that could have lived any life I chose I
just culturally growing up in the hood
being a criminal was cool it was mad so
I was like I'm going to be one of the
boys watch how good I am and I chose
every crime I done I chose and when I
got on drugs I chose to get on drugs
just like when I got off drugs I chose
it it's all a decision I'm not saying
every circumstance is like that and
there's a lot of parts in the world it's
not but I've never tried to paint paint
the situation in any anything other than
that definitely a product of your
environment you know yeah so yeah well
that's the saying a that's exact that's
exactly it that's the saying what's this
here is this the community center
community center
yeah when I was younger in southeast do
programs for kids in night I don't know
look like it's very at the moment
clearly housing nice private
house it's mostly like this how we're
seeing the houses here this is this is
probably like um like a ton down version
like when you go like further streets
out like the houses are a lot nicer yeah
so there'll be a nice mode lawn you know
I mean nice house and then there'll be a
house like the grass is just high and
like you know I mean there oh yeah right
next door it yeah yeah yeah
yeah you can pretty much tell off like
how someone keeps their lawn yeah
whether whether they're in a good state
of mind or not true eh 100% yeah it says
a lot eh you're right he's the
definitive
line that's a good one he their lawn
shows their state of mind this Berkeley
West BR this is Berkeley West
West so this is this is housing here I
can see Department of Housing signage on
it
[Music]
yeah like Sydney and like you see like
on in America and stuff they like got
like Turf related stuff y That's where
down here it's just like yeah pretty
much every for yeah yeah I you man I
wouldn't say there's much organized
crime down here at all you know
yeah it's definitely a lot cleaner than
like legol land especially than Legoland
yeah that's what I was saying I think a
lot of the stats yeah are based off um
like juvenal crime you know what I mean
y y y it's manipulated for them to
achieve what they want to achieve at any
point in time yeah if they want to start
working on Berkeley next bump the stats
up there's their commission to do it y
few more police in Berkeley few more
cameras hey D H
bro this is like we like a to cold the
sucks all all housing this is all
housing fun example
private private
private yeah yeah yeah and I guess
that's the secret to keeping a uh
athletically better around here that
they've done
that
