trivago looks the same, but has a whole new foundation since the start of the year.

Ich wünsche mir menschenfreundliche Städte in Deutschland, wo Kinder gefahrlos mit dem Fahrrad von A nach B kommen können. Deshalb werde ich für den @radentscheidmg unterschreiben.

Damit bin ich #1inamillion.

Wie sieht's in deiner Stadt so aus?

I support the creation of the "Sold City" movie which will inform people about what's happening with real estate and rents in Germany's big cities. Maybe you want to, too. https://t.co/gts1Hn6Eli

Sehr treffend formuliert von @UllrichFichtner: "Eine Regierung, die den Klimaschutz zu ihrem zentralen Anliegen macht und sich nicht traut, ein Tempolimit auf Autobahnen zu beschließen, scheitert schon am ersten Tag an ihren eigenen Ansprüchen."

"Instead of an adolescence [..] where one attempts to master something and accept responsibility, we have made it full of waiting, and doing work [..] that nearly everyone knows is fake."
