Renters don't get a choice, and pollution affects everyone

[–] gandalf_der_12te@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

renters don't get a choice in practice, but they should in theory, and pollution from gas stoves is less than from combustion cars, just that it's densely concentrated in your apartment, so levels are still high for you. but it does not affect everyone

a better move would be to actually build social housing, instead of prescribing others what they should build. otherwise you're simply seen as "the party that wants to forbid others from doing what they like", instead of being seen as "the party that actually does some meaningful construction and adds to society that way".

We shouldn't create decades of priced in emissions or have to pau twice to rip out the gas and put in electric later. Might as well do it right the first time
