    Lmao, the politicians comments.

    is a political priority that there be built new houses as suggested, to ensure a development of the Christiania-area with varied ownership-models.

    It's a question of principle, whether a group of people should be allowed to occupy a large part of government property in central Copenhagen. There's no question that what they've been doing is illegal ... they seized government property and have been living on it and that's worth a lot of money now.

    Christiania is a dwelling for people who wish to live in a different manner ... But it is crucial that varied ownership-models are introduced, so that there will be both private and partially owned houses.

    (Christiania's) demand that there be a collective fund is not fair, It doesn't meet the wish for a normalization. We (the government) have emphasized that there should be varied ownership-models, such as private ownership ... it is natural that there are also privately owned buildings in an area like Christiania ... Because it is the case for the surrounding society in general, that there are variety in the ownership.

    Yeah, I'm sure what they need is mOrE VaRieTy iN oWneRsHiP :mao-shining:

    But they seem to have ceded control and the government is now "developing the area for businesses"? I've found another source saying the inhabitants agreed to buy the area?
