I definitely think this is the case. Something akin to tragedy of the commons (or maybe Braese’s paradox?) where small investments for short term gain trumps bigger investments for, comparatively, bigger gains.

Hands down. Easiest choice of my life

My take has always been (regardless of living in Europe or anywhere else) that these type of issues is exactly why we have states and municipalities at all. I.e to help each other solve basic life more efficiently. Of course there’s different takes on best strategies for this but I have a hard time seeing how Mamdanis policies around infrastructure and housing are extreme in any way

This sounds chill but are there actual evidence that taking it this slow improves your (mental?) health significantly?

Nån som vet varför de vill göra den här förändringen? Det är liksom ett av de få bra sätten att ta sig ner på kontinenten
