The thorny issue of what to do with Russian assets has not only stumped Western leaders but also officials in Berlin who are saddled with three crumbling buildings belonging to Moscow. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/02/10/world/russia-house-berlin-bureaucratic-limbo/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #germany #russia #housing #architecture

Welp, this is bad. Another person who presented themselves as a legitimate roommate candidate, has no money.

I am seriously going to be homeless in 6 weeks if I can't find someone.

Mutual Aid needed. My Paypal is:

(obviously you have to remove all of the spaces)

📣 Winter Walk Update. End #Homelessness

❄️👟The Winter Walk has been postponed to March 22 due to the recent snowstorm and extreme cold. In my two‑minute video, I share an excerpt from the organizers that reminds us how dangerous winter weather is for our unhoused neighbors—conditions they can’t simply step away from.

🎯With nonprofits facing major funding cuts, this work matters now more than ever. I’ll still be there on March 22, and the need continues.

"''I don't want to drive housing prices down,' he said — as seen in the admittedly off-putting animation above. 'I want to drive housing prices up for people who own homes.'

You don't need to be a stable genius to understand where the winners and losers are in this scenario."

Friends, my roommate bailed on me with almost no notice, and I am trying to raise funds to to be able to stay where I am. Rent here is crazy and I can't afford it alone, so I am trying to raise 3 months of their share until I can find and vet a new roommate.

I had my first roommate interview a few nights ago. They texted me and told me they were on their way and never showed up.

There are no good landlords. Rent is always exploitation.

United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs #UN #OCHA periodical update on #Gaza:

• At least 71,667 Palestinians #killed by now, including¹ at least 20,179 #children (of which 931 younger than 1 year; 356 killed immediately after birth), and 10,427 #women.

• More than 1,700 health workers killed.²

• Since the ceasefire came into effect, 492 Palestinians were killed (including at least 100 children), 1,356 were injured.

• Currently no comprehensive data on aid delivery. As of January 14th 2025, three crossings into Gaza were operational.

• Currently no concise data on levels of food insecurity. In January 2025, for the first time since October 2023, stocks are sufficient to provide monthly food rations covering the minimum caloric needs of a household.

• At 970 displacement sites, an estimated 1.3 million people are living; 795,000 of them live in in flood-prone areas.

• The Israeli military remains deployed within more than 50% of the Gaza stripe (Yellow Line). Access to humanitarian facilities and assets, public infrastructure and agricultural land remain severely restricted or prohibited there, and detonations of residential buildings are reported.

• About 92% of all #housing units either destroyed (160,000) or damaged (276,000)³

Anyone who thinks Labour are on the side of renters when they are allowing private landlords a decade to bring their home up to a new Decent Homes Standard might think again

Clearly implementation cannot be immediate, there would always need to have been a transition time; but a decade?

Looks like Rachel Reeves (champion of landlords resisting the ground rent cap) was more successful this time in protecting profits for landlords for another 10 years.
