Local Green Party Meeting In Berlin Concludes

 Local folks gathered up, and they assembled the 'promises' for the next election cycle....for the city election.  The five things I gathered out of this effort?

“Clear leftward shift” at the Berlin Green Party conference. A few highlights:  

1. A city speed limit of 30 kph.  

2.  Absolutely no tunnel construction. 

3.  Mandate for no private jets at BER.  (To be honest, there's at least 4 alternate  runways within 40 km....so if you were this strict....not a big deal.  Lessen the profitability of BER, and help out Finow or Schönhagen)

4.  Find some way of acquiring public housing....Implementing expropriation.  

5.  Invent some way of mandating landlords meet a social quota (left for some 'Einstein' to create).

Polling?  They tend to be in 4th place....around 16-percent.  The CDU appears likely to win....but with a marginal 22-percent.  City fairly split up among five parties.
