We need more rental properties with a good standard and low rent
It must never become the norm to offer rental apartments without either their own shower or toilet. We shall not accept that type of standard development. Rents could also be lower. No thanks, Botrygg. This is how we can afford good, cheap, beautiful and comfortable rental properties for everyone who needs them.
Secure public health insurance
It is time to strengthen public healthcare. Thus, we must ban private health insurance because we should not allow cream files. These reduce the total care capacity and make the care queue longer.

The apartments are often sold at a reduced price. At the same time, tenants who have sickness benefits often do not get bank loans to buy their flat. Redevelopment is at odds with Gothenburg's need for more rental properties. Low-rent rentals can…

The right-wing jantelag is against freedom under responsibility
Some right-wing politicians say that the people cheat and are morally corrupt. We at this blog believe in "do your duty and claim your right". But do you remember the Alliance's tone before the 2006 election? There are still right-wing voters who use the same argument. Individual cases are also highlighted in the media. Jantelagen wants to hold people back and not allow…
Residential focus on good variety, low rents and integration
We must develop residential areas where people enjoy and can afford to live. Where all the different groups of society can live together, side by side. Certainly the architect Fredrik Rosenhall has a point in his article in GP that modernist architecture and classicist can learn from each other. But certainly not in that modernist architecture would be allowed to continue…
Invest in production and green technology for the future
