We should build upwards rather than expand into new areas in Espoo.
\"No, Espoo is a suburb of the big city. In the city you can live in high-rise buildings. In Espoo I think you have better living conditions in smaller houses, townhouses and the like. But at the same time, infrastructure, shops and commercial centers must also be expanded and not concentrated in large shopping centers.\"

Schools should prioritize traditional textbooks over digital learning materials.
I love digital tools and tinkering with computers, but I don\'t think they belong in regular school lessons. Our generation has been able to learn the digital world even though we started late, so can this generation.
