The housing crisis plaguing major urban centres has sent countless people into the streets.

Auf der Suche nach dem moralischen Kompass. Wo sind sie alle, wenn es darum geht, Flagge zu zeigen? Wenn die Zeit gekommen ist, zu dem zu stehen, was noch vor nicht allzu langer Zeit vollmundig verkündet wurde?
