  • Ours is just a little over 100 years old now, and even back from the start, the building won some prize, i dont know what its called but something like best building made in copenhagen from recycled materials in 1918.

    We also had own bathrooms, both toilet and showers, from the start. Most other buildings around here had it installed in the 80s.

    And many other buildings also had backhouses that were eventually demolished to make room for common areas, where ours had the foresight to never build one.

    Oh, and of the 250 apartments, about 70% are still owned by the same families who came together and built the building. That means that when the laws around pricing in andelsboligforeninger changed, people here chose to keep the old low prices.

    “I might be able to become a Millionaire today, but then my 3 children would all need millions each to own a home” has been the consensus around here since then. (a million dkk is about 140.000$)

    I am very proud that the families all came together around that decision before my time. Its literally one of the only places in Copenhagen where a normal person can own a home without millions in debt.


  • I live in an andelsboligforening, thats kind of the same i think.

    Imagine if an association owned an apartment complex, and the association was owned by the members.

    So i dont technically own my apartment, i own a specific part of the association, that is connected with this specific apartment.

    We have the same for city gardens called Kolonihave, its actually very common in Northern Europe.




  • No i never post about that, you are right. The internet is full of it already.

    All i am saying is, the lesser evil is a lot less evil. Using an 80 year old genocide to justify not voting against a literal nazi, has led us to a point where literal nazis hold power in the strongest military in the world.

    What is happening to palestinians is horrible. The way it was being propogandized into giving Trump the power in America though, will have fat wider teaching consequences and eventually lead to a genocide that will make both Palestine and Ukraine look like childsplay.


  • I mean, both Yes and no. I grew up around a lot of palestinians, so i’ve known about it since i was very little and always felt with them and sided with them.

    But politically, it’s always been used as a Decoy. Every time Americans wanted to do something horrible, Israel was allowed to do something horrible first, so the world would be talking about Palestine, not what America was doing.

    This time, Americans let Israel do what they want, Russia do what they want, and they keep pointing and threatening North, while all their atrocities happen in South America.

    And the world is too busy looking at the worlds three biggest decoys 🤷‍♂️
