Because building literal ghettoes always works out. After Miljonprogrammen i don't think people are that hot to try again.

Miljonprogrammen actually provided housing that was pretty attractive by the standards of the day (all modern amenities, etc, while in Gamla Stan you still had dry closets out in the yard well into the 70's - my mom lived for some time in an attic there while studying in the early 70's), and it was certainly better than living in someone's closet. The segregation was a problem that came later, not the fault of the housing itself.

The problems of miljonprogrammen are kinda inherent to the location and ideology of the time. It was by design cut off from the rest of the city. And high rises are personally very depressing. Segregation came later, but now there's a clear divide between inner city and projects in multiple ways, and i believe this hurts the city a lot.
Making a lot of new houses, quickly, for the refugees could end really badly.

They don't actually need houses. What the gently caress, that's racist? Since when migrants needed anywhere to live.

They were also only meant to last so long and if the Jugoslavian civil war hadn't happened, they would probably have been torn down by now, since we had a surplus of housing in the 90s.

According to tweets from anonymous MigV workers buses with asylum seekers are told to drive slowly since MigV don't know where to put them.

Also, MSB can only build tents for 4k asylum seekers, while MigV wanted 100k.
Finally, Germany put harder rules on asylum seekers yesterday, so it is not going to get better.
Hint: If you have planned on a skiing vacation in Sweden in winter, I would reschedule since guess who lives in those places now.

Next up, a new asylum agreement between S&M, which will cause the current ruling coalition to fall and glorious chaos will occur.

People tend to forget today that Miljonprogrammet, despite its legacy, accomplished exactly what it set out to do. At the end of it the housing market had gone from under-supplied to over-supplied.

The invisible hand of the free market couldn't be trusted to wipe its own rear end.

I applaud the suggestion of a new Miljonprogrammet. The leap from student housing to your own apartment is just too long, and in various cities there's significant inflation in the points system. If we're going to get thousands of new citizens via EU migration and war-refugees, surely there needs to be houses for them to live in.

An over-supplied housing market would be better for the consumer in the long run, surely. And there'll be new areas for gentrification in 50 years as well!

This shouldn't surprise anyone, but not many people want to be professional soldiers. Reinstate conscription/civil defense training and/or some kind of do-three-months-for-the-community duty. Also, instate full communism now.

I'm all for reinstating (reactivating?) conscription. Not only because we need more people in the military, which we do, but also because I'm pretty sure it would have positive effects on youth unemployment etc.

Plus full communism, obviously.

As someone from a country that still has conscription I can confirm that most everyone forgets how to take care of their poo poo and get up in the morning about five minutes after getting back to civilian life.

I have never been sorry about doing my conscription, and it was more or less optional for me i.e. if I faked enough it would have been the reserve.

But some positions were just a waste of time, like those guys that got regimental guard duty or Livvakten that gets to do högvakten a huge number of times.
FYI, Högvakten is 99% boredom and 1% people peeing on the castle, except the dudes at Drottningholm that got to see into the Kings living room or watch Madeleine sneak out for a smoke.
Military conscription would probably be much better if the connection to outside military skills were larger, like for example get a truck driving licence, medical training, car fixing or telecom education.
That plus one year of firing automatic weapons, RPGs and handling heavy machinery while also getting fit is a pretty good incitament for doing that crap.
Nowadays, my impression of FM is basically as an recruitment process for our international peace-keeping things.

M just told SD to gently caress off and go play with the kids.
