They probably just interviewed the rich people living in the cities. It's always fine until it is in your backyard. Or wait...according to the list, backyards are fine. So that is definitely where the refugees should go. The problem here is that the backyards become places like Rinkeby where it becomes "out of sight out of mind" to those who live in the richer areas in central Stockholm. (Rinkeby is a suburb of Stockholm).

Bringing up Sweden again, did anyone see the 60 minutes report where the Austrailian crew was attacked in Rinkeby ? Admittedly I didn't even hear about it until earlier this month. And I live about 10-15 minutes from Rinkeby. Although even if you walk about a few minutes from Rinkeby, there is a HUGE difference in the area.

I guess if you ever want to go back to the "no go zone" topic it could be considered that. You don't go there. At least you could say that it is not exactly a desirable place to get a home. Although, to be fair it makes it seem like it was only new immigrants attacking them. Which isn't true anymore.
