If your society has made basic needs like housing, energy, and food increasingly unaffordable luxuries, then it's not a society - it's a grift.

A journalist asks Jacinda Ardern if she met with Finnish PM Sanna Marin just because the two are "similar in age" and have "a lot of common stuff". It goes about as well as you'd expect.

Енергийна бедност, инфлация, война на няколкостотин километра, корупция на всеки метър, образовани млади хора заминават, пенсионери със 70 лв коледна надбавка. Редовните заподозрени стоят до посреднощ да променят изборния кодекс в страна, в която гласуването ни стана хоби. 🤌

The most inspiring country leader (in my eyes) who ruled with kindness is waving 'goodbye'. "We give all that we can for as long as we can and then it's time." So few dare to say when for them "it's time". 🫶 #JacindaArdern

Just had a second read at this tweet & the topics we are preparing for the International Social Housing Festival in Barcelona & felt SO privileged to be able to #communicate about the things that matter now & will make a difference if we collectively get them right. ISHF - International Social Housing Festival

To Housing Europe's network & all of you committed to affordable, decent, people-led housing, you exceeded our expectations. 📬170 ideas for events 🌍28 countries All under the umbrella of the 4th International #SocialHousing Festival on 7-9 June in Barcelona. #ISHF2023

EU policymakers can seize the opportunity to improve the #EPBD proposal, the results of which will be with us for many years. They can align it to the #NewEuropeanBauhaus ambition to have beautiful & sustainable #affordable neighbourhoods. Our view in this roundup by Nikolaus J. Kurmayer

After almost a decade in #Brussels, passing by the EU quarter nearly every single day has become just a habit. But today is history. And we should remember that a year into the invasion of #Ukraine, the EU is on the right side of history. This, just as #peace, is not granted.

Great Qs even for the EU which has made public policy & admin-heavy jobs prestigious, attracting very bright minds. And yet, #Brussels consultancies are thriving, maybe because a 3rd party opinion helps to back up views or being fully accountable is hard? ft.com/content/fb1254…

Very, very exciting few months ahead in the run-up to the 4th International Social Housing Festival. Emerging housing challenges, calls for social justice, tackling big interests, responding to needs of youth and the elderly, lifting the most vulnerable up & a lot more. #ISHF2023

Happy birthday APPLiA 🏡!

10 days after the 2023 International Social Housing Festival, a nice reflection of what this celebration, protest & almost a movement means for the housing world, for citizens & the places we live in. It’s been fantastic working with you in the past year, Eduard Cabré Romans #ISHF2023

Tomorrow, April 23, Housing Europe, with the kind support The Left in the European Parliament, is hosting a working breakfast in the 🇪🇺 Parliament to discuss the ways that can lead us towards a #NewHousingParadigm.

"Housing is impacting every aspect of society & must transcend political divides. The stakes are too high for partisan politics. It is time to change the narrative", Diana Yordanova & Tim Wolters from Housing Europe said at the last Strasbourg meeting of The Left in the European Parliament. #EUelections
