The new government in Finland will cut the development budget by 250 million €. My work on advising energy sector development at the ministry for foreign affairs will end on the last day of July.
@henrihorn Really sad to hear that. I’m afraid the new right-wing government might be able to squander the one time Finland had the chance to become a world industry leader in something (wind power).
Which is also ironic, because I thought they were about business.
WaPo sees #ParkingMinimums leading to:
-millions of parking spaces we don’t need. Each one costs us.
-addiction to free parking, a bad habit that harms health, businesses and cities. The main beneficiaries are cars, not people
-minimum parking requirements raise housing costs, subsidize car ownership and congestion, increase homelessness, deter transit and pollute the air
Parking spots cost $5,000 to $80,000 to build. Everyone pays, even the ones who don't drive.
