Cycling around the Kontula and its nearby neighbourhoods. Kontula is a quarter of Helsinki, Finland, part of the Mellunkylä neighbourhood. Kontula was built mostly in the 1960s and 1970s when more housing was required in Helsinki. Many people from the city centre moved to Kontula; due to its little higher than average concentration of government tenant housing complexes, immigrant and refugee population it is regarded as an average eastern Helsinki suburb. Kontula has generally been considered one of the most notorious suburbs in East Helsinki largely due to prevailing incidents of violence and drug dealing. Kontulan Ostoskeskus (The Shopping Centre or the mall) opened in 1967.

    2. I'm sure the violence and drug dealing has "nothing" to do with the fact that it's literally been invaded by the Middle East and Africa. NONE of these people are "refugees". None of them. They are economic migrants and they've come for the gibs.
