Now that the vote has been rejected, can we come up with concrete solutions as a country rather than finger point at each other? Yes, population growth without infrastructure projects is an issue.
- Can we first and foremost stop opposing every single new construction/tower project that will at the very least create some housing? The projects, in 99% of cases, end up being built, except it happens 10 years too late and the inhabitants have to live with an empty lot next to them.
- Can we finally stop doing 100’000 « studies » that take up around 15-20 years and get building a bit quicker? The Lausanne-Geneva line, for example, can not last in this situation until 2050. Same goes for the M1 in Lausanne until 2040. Won’t even get started on the Lausanne train station.
- Can we go back to integrating people a bit better? When someone lives in a country for more than 10 years and cannot speak more than « Salut » or « Grüezi » while working with the public, there is an issue. Switzerland was lucky this time that the vote didn’t pass. But this vote had 10% more support than the same vote in 2020. If our government continues acting like nothing is happening, an even more extreme vote will end up passing within the next years. I will also add, that name calling the leftists « communists » for wanting more immigration and the right wingers « nazis » for wanting less is just creating a more polarized society. If we want these issues to end we need to finally find a common ground. submitted by /u/Wonderful_Setting195
