Hannu Järvinen wrote that he found it strange to think that banning driving and filling the center with construction pits would reduce people's desire to go there. He added that he would not have believed this would happen. https://t.co/vdkU1pQKga #autoilu #rakentaminen #kaupunkisuunnittelu (translated)

Suvi-Anne Siimes considered the matter and the interview important and thanked the building inspector of Muhos for granting the interview. She wrote that municipal officials seemed to be quite alone in such difficult and pressuring situations, and in her opinion, this should not have been the case. https://t.co/gEy6MMaxIw #rakennustarkastus #haastattelu #kuntapolitiikka (translated)

The listener podcast asked its followers for pictures of new buildings that they considered ugly, for an upcoming episode about the ugliness of construction. The podcast mentioned highlighting, among other things, expressionless box buildings and public buildings they described as resembling those in the Hunger Games. Along with the pictures, listeners could optionally mention the architect and other responsible individuals, as well as companies. The podcast also hoped for before-and-after pictures, where the urban planning visual differed from the realized environment. As an example, it mentioned Joutsenpuisto in Tapanila, Helsinki, describing it as horrifying. #rumarakentaminen #arkkitehtuuri #podcast (translated)

Tanja Aidanjuuri wrote that the plan in Helsinki to ban advertising of fossil fuels could, according to her, cost the city nearly 100 million euros in advertising revenue. She criticized the proposal as unnecessary and absurd and listed as examples of potentially restricted advertising gasoline and diesel cars, flights, cruises, synthetic clothing, plastic products, and fossil fuels. Aidanjuuri described that the Greens in Vantaa could, in her opinion, follow the same line and that advertising would then practically be limited to, for example, veggie sausages, rainbow flags, and new mosques. She also pointed out that taxpayer money would be used for the handling of the matter. Aidanjuuri cited a proposal stating that the advertising ban would be investigated in the preparation of the next outdoor advertising agreement for Helsinki's public areas and that the advertising agreements of Urban Traffic Ltd would also be taken into account. The assessment would examine, among other things, the legal boundaries of the ban, its climate and environmental impacts, effects on the city's economy, the city's own communication and marketing, as well as the media landscape. The proposal also mentioned the possibility of examining advertising's ethical principles more broadly and limiting outdoor advertising from entities considered to violate human rights and particularly polluting industries. #Helsinki #ilmastonmuutos #mainonta (translated)

A more than 10 billion euro artificial intelligence investment is being planned in Jämsä, which the French company Sesterce intends to implement on the site of the former Kaipola paper mill, employing around 2000 people during the construction phase and using Finnish contractors. #tekoäly #investointi #Jämsä (translated)

Maria Rautanen wrote that a law was being prepared in Finland that would require the installation of solar panels on existing public buildings larger than 250 m² starting in 2031. She linked the preparation to the EU's Energy Efficiency Directive for Buildings and asked whether the effects of the directive were adequately assessed in Finnish conditions. Rautanen argued that Finland could not be compared to sunny Mediterranean countries that used a lot of fossil fuels. She noted that Finland's electricity consumption emission factor was only 26 g CO₂/kWh in 2025 and pointed out that solar panels produced energy mostly in the summer when the electricity system was already low-emission and energy consumption was lower. She wrote that the solar panel production chain was heavily concentrated in China and that a lot of coal-generated electricity was still used in their manufacturing. According to Rautanen, 78,000 MW of new coal power was commissioned in China in 2025. Rautanen asked who would pay for the new investments while municipalities were balancing their budgets and welfare areas were looking for savings. She demanded a calculation of the costs and financing of the investments, as well as how much the solar panels made in China would reduce Finland's CO₂ emissions over their entire lifespan. She also questioned whether the panels would offset their carbon footprint during production and assessed that the rationality of the directive in Finland could not be determined without a calculation based on Finnish conditions. https://t.co/ba6sqYwZ2l #Aurinkoenergia #Energiatehokkuus #Suomi (translated)

Jukka Lepikkö wrote that European bureaucracy would require construction work to be suspended for the duration of environmental impact assessments. According to him, work would resume a couple of years and several rounds of appeals later, once the flying squirrels or other similar species had been saved again. https://t.co/pXcszeA0A5 #byrokratia #ympäristö #rakentaminen (translated)

Lucia-pulla mentioned having visited the Puhos shopping center a couple of years earlier to check out the place, not for shopping or errands. She described the building as rundown, untidy, and even abandoned-looking, although according to her, there were businesses and life there. The visit had felt depressing and unpleasant to her. She also wrote about feeling out of place and how the women dressed in cloaks reminded her of a dystopia. #Suomi #Puhos #matkustus (translated)

Samu Mökillä wrote that in Finland, with its long distances, many families needed a car for their daily lives, and that the fuel prices raised by the Middle East crisis had increased the cost of essential transportation. He criticized the proposal to use the commuting tax deduction to alleviate the situation, arguing that it mainly benefited commuters. According to him, the support would not help, for example, farmers, the transport sector, or lawnmowers. Mökkilä asked why fuel prices could be lowered elsewhere in the world but not in Finland, and considered the commuting tax deduction insufficient if the cost of living was also rising. He estimated that individual support lost its significance as general inflation consumed purchasing power. The rise in fuel costs would also increase freight rates, food production, industry, and logistics, which would be reflected in the prices of many products. He called for a reduction in distribution obligations and taxes instead of subsidies and described the commuting support as a small band-aid for a broader increase in living costs. According to Mökillä, politicians wanted to appear to be doing something, even if the support's impact on people's wallets was overshadowed by rising prices. Mökkilä also wrote that the state budget was heavily in deficit and dependent on revenues collected from motorists. He stated that high fuel taxes were part of climate policy, but rural residents, actors in the transport sector, and small entrepreneurs often had no opportunity to change their fleets or reduce driving. He criticized politicians for disregarding the situation of ordinary Finns, saying that while there was talk of savings, millions were sent to a terrorist organization. #Suomi #polttoaine #talous (translated)

I have a dream. Ja se on: haluaisin nähdä eri toimijoiden rakentavan yhden yhteisen rakennustiedon varaan monenlaisia ratkaisuja ja jakavan hallitusti tietojaan niin, että tieto rikastuu ja sen päälle voidaan rakentaa arjessa toimivia äppejä. Ryhdin [https://ryhti.syke.fi/] rakennustietovarannossa on pohja, mutta siitä puuttuvat ei-luvanvaraiset rakennukset ja rakennelmat, reilu miljoona kohdetta. Kansallisessa maastotietokannassa on kaikki, mutta siellä on myös suoraan ladotut halkopinot ja katolliset parikeinut, vähän liikaa siis ollakseen merkityksellistä. SYKE ja MML, yhdistäkää tietonne, virtauttakaa tieto Ryhdin kautta, sillä se järjestelmä on toimivinta ja hallituinta, mitä tällä hetkellä on. Tämän jälkeen riittää, että muut rakentavat vain omat erityisensä. Ei enää toisteista kirjaamista, ei manuaaliduunia, ei vanhentuneita tietoja. Kaikki kohteen ominaisuudet hallitusti jakoon: onko suojeltu, onko hometta, asbestia, radonia, onko pelastussuunnitelma tehty, esteetön vai ei, energialuokka, tässä vasta alkua.

Kävin töiden puolesta rakennustelineillä vähän purkamassa riskirakenteeksi ”varmuuden vuoksi” luokiteltua lasitusta. Siis voi vittu millaista paskaa on rakennettu 2015-2025 välillä. Siis ihan oikeasti jumalauta edesmennyt äitinikin olisi voinut kertavilkaisulla sanoa, että tämä ei helvetti ole turvallinen rakenne, vaan kuolemanloukku. Lujuusluokittelemattomia pultteja, katkenneita porakärkiruuveja, alumiinipellistä paikan päällä leikeltyjä ”shimmilevyjä” laatan ja kaiteen välissä. Monessa paikassa parvekelasituksen saa putoamaan kun ottaa kaiteesta kunnon otteen ja nykäisee itseensä päin rajusti. Siellä on 50kg laminoidut monikerroslasit millien toleransseilla urissa, pysyvät siellä kumitiivisteen ja kauniiden ajatusten voimalla. Muistatte varmaan miten täällä on naurettu ”etelänmaalaisille”, kun jossain Intiassa sortuu talo maanjäristyksessä ja käy ilmi, että puolet tiilistä on korvattu tyhjillä limsatölkeillä? Suomessa ollaan käytännössä samassa tilanteessa, meillä vaan asunnot on maailman kalleimpia vaikka ovat ihan paskoissa taloissa. Jos parvekkeesi pannaan käyttökieltoon, noudata sitä kieltoa 🫵🏼 #rakennus #turvallisuus #asuminen

Orpo hymyilee kamerolle ja vakuuttaa, ettei sähkön hinta nouse. Sama teatteri, sama vale, sama kansa joka uskoo. Datakeskus ei tuo hyvinvointia. Se tuo pari vuotta rakennustyömaata, sen jälkeen muutaman huoltomiehen ja valtavan sähkösyöpön, joka syö suomalaisten sähkön. Yle myöntää tänään: hinta nousee. Orpon oma selvitys sanoi saman viime vuonna. Nyt se kielletään naama peruslukemilla. Kun sähköstä tulee niukkaa ja kallista, se ei ole markkina. Se on työkalu. Kuka saa lämpöä. Kuka ei. Kuka saa ladata. Kuka ei. Tyrannia, ei kasvu. Ja se data, jota nämä hallit nielevät, ei ole innovaatiota. Se on valvontaa. Kiinan malli: kaikki jäljitettävissä, kaikki pisteytettävissä, kaikki hallittavissa. Suomi rakentaa sen itse, hymyillen, ja kutsuu sitä investoinniksi. Suomalaiset aikuiset uskovat tähän yhä uudestaan kuin lapset. Päättäjät ja media ovat pettäneet lupauksillaan jo tuhansia kertoja. Silti sama usko. Sama “kyllä ne tietää”. Siksi Suomi on Euroopan pohjalla ja silti yllättyy joka kerta, kun lasku tulee. #sähkönhinta #Suomi #valehtelu
