My latest for The Guardian: A government that claims to take concerns over crime and national security seriously, while ignoring violent neo-nazi groups, will struggle with its credibility. Sweden has a long tradition of refusing to talk about racism. Racism could still decide the next election:

remember how Berlin citizens voted to take back the city from corporate landlords in 2021? it was an emancipatory promise many applauded. since then, corporate landlords increased their stronghold on the city to 25% of housing stok, and w it, rents went up by 9% annually.

@mickbyrne.bsky.social about renovations, highlighting how these diminish affordable housing. Me and @idaborg.bsky.social has also found that tenants with lower socioeconomic status tend to move less than socioeconomically stronger households, which can be interpreted as a form of 'lock in' effect.
