Halssila started to develop in the 1920s when factor workers started to build houses in the area.[3] Halssila was known as a working-class district, but the reputation started to change in the 1960s after the area started to grow faster and the old labour movement became to fade away.[4] In the 1970s the construction of new neighborhoods, mainly made of apartment buildings, was started.[3] During the 2000s and 2010s other new neighborhoods were constructed.[5][6]

gollark: Yes, and overuse of channels bad as they are just not very good a lot of the time.
gollark: Ugh, Go code is just so awful to work on, especially this.
