"Nature-lover, fan of freedom"
I am 38 years old procurement specialist. My political drivers are justice, individual freedom and equality of opportunity. I enjoy reservist-activities, airsoft, cycling and hiking. The most important things for city are the closeby nature, security and enabling economic success.
Important political topics
Housing and construction
More than 15% of Helsinki's apartments are rented outside of the free market. The city should reduce underpriced rentals which raises free market housing prices. Additional construction must be carried out with particular care, safeguarding the surrounding nature.
Functional infrastructure
In a well functioning city, it's possible to move around as needed and desired by bicycle, on foot, by car or by public transport. District heating, electricity and water networks play a key role in economic and ecological housing.
Well-run economy and business
The city can't build a good and sustainable economy by itself, it needs the people and their ideas. Barriers to success need to be reduced, both in permission processes and in taxation. Helsinki, as a city, should not finance "everything shiny for everyone" but enable the creation of well-being for people themselves.
