Debate
This is a discussion post. Opinions in the text are the responsibility of the writer.
In the “My Oslo” interview, Fenaknoken owner Eirik Bræk warns of the capital’s shoplifting: “The street scene speaks for itself, if only they would bother to search: Empty commercial premises. No traffic. Almost no people. “
I admit that I contributed to the death of the store in Oslo. The reason is that I have been forced to change my shopping habits.
Oslo city center is no longer accessible for people like me.
There are no parking spaces
I represent women with strong purchasing power, large family, large business budget, purchasing responsibility for the daily operation of houses, homes, family events, birthdays, confirmations, Christmas, Easter, weddings, consumer goods, clothing and leisure items. .
Previously, he regularly drove to Rådhusplassen, parked, bought goods in four to five figure quantities, put the goods in the car and drove home. I was no exception. All the women in my circle did the same.
It is no longer physically possible. There are no parking spaces within an acceptable walking distance.
Household purchasing managers are planning action in a different way now. The action takes place outside the city. For my part, this has caused a 50% increase in the kilometers traveled per kilometer. years, but it must be so.
The City Council assures that there are more pedestrians in Oslo, “according to their counts.” I realized that they chose to count the rides when there was a sporting event in Oslo. My personal experience is that Oslo is empty of people during the day.
The city becomes inaccessible
Before, the urban landscape was characterized by people of all ages. Now the city is clean of old people. You don’t see old women with shopping bags and wallets anymore. You don’t see younger women with children on a shopping trip.
He also doesn’t see people with physical disabilities. The few pedestrians he sees are young and active, in addition to an increasing proportion of cyclists and electric scooters. But they are not buying enough to keep the shops and workplaces of commerce alive.
44 percent of the population has some kind of physical disability, according to Statistics Norway. There are numerically many of us who cannot use bicycles, scooters or public transport. I find it strange that no one reacts to the inaccessibility of the city to a large group of residents. I guess it is a planned strategy.
They know what they are doing
The city is now turning into a playground for young, healthy, childless people living in small apartments with mini kitchens. They eat outside while looking for a partner. They don’t trade big. They don’t live in the specialty stores downtown.
The only things they keep alive are cafes, gyms, and scooter companies.
Politicians are not stupid. They know what they are doing.
To you journalists: You must not sleep! Oslo is on fire! Purging people on the basis of physical abilities is an unacceptable act. It is morally reprehensible and links to political forms of government that few want to see again.
