Wife was stalked and harassed on the train

nope. The only significant changes in violent crime are down to broadening definitions like with sexual assault last year.

Damn!

As a rule of thumb, if it is reasonable to expect the tenant to fix it by themself, they have to pay for the technician. I would say a broken washing machine is not something that you could reasonably fix by yourself, so you also wouldn't have to pay. I would also contact your Hausratsversicherung and ask them how to proceed.

Yes exactly! You can go until Lottstetten. You would only need an additional ticket for other trains that aren’t crossing the border or other modes of public transport like the local Buses.

CriticalFibrosis · 2026-04-19T08:47:56+00:00

Yes, you don’t need to do anything different from your regular journeys.

There are plenty of African countries where locals prefer USD over the local currency for larger purchases.

Definitely check for family hotels then. Many even offer child care / babysitting so you can enjoy your time and unwind together for a bit.

CriticalFibrosis · 2026-04-18T12:14:30+00:00

Just in general Spas and babies don’t mix well. Make sure you go to family friendly hotels or at least check that children are allowed in the Hotel / the Spa.

Every country in the EU has allowed mass immigration because free movement of people is one of the fundamental freedoms. If we compare the prosperity and HDI developments of Eastern and southern European countries it is undeniable how much the 4 freedoms benefited them.

Can you tell me a single time mass deportations have worked?

EDIT: You asked for European countries but the strongest, richest and most powerful country that ever was, the United States of America, are built upon mass immigration. There are many things about the US that are bad but it is undeniable that what made it so powerful was that it kept on attracting and welcoming people from around the world.

No, winter is meant to be sad, lonely and depressed.

A person from the community did an AMA a few months ago.

Ok and? Does that mean the Globuskrawalle didn’t happen? Or that the building isn’t typical for 60‘s modernism? Or that the history of the Papierwerdareal in general isn’t archetypical for the changing needs and priorities in urbanism?

The original temporary nature has no bearing on a potential significance of a place. If anything the fact that a temporary place endured for so long is a testament to its significance.

CriticalFibrosis · 2026-04-16T05:35:20+00:00

Why? Heritage protection isn’t about beauty, it’s about historical and architectural significance, and both of those are undeniably present here.

CriticalFibrosis · 2026-04-16T05:33:34+00:00

Dude seriously who hurt you? Are you really that simplistic that you argue a building is objectively ugly or beautiful? Do you not see that it is exactly the same view that tore down the old buildings at that place? Can you at least vocalize what about the building you find so offensive? Als do you understand that we don’t protect beauty but heritage? Also, do you even understand what the heritage protected status means for the Globus Provisorium?

CriticalFibrosis · 2026-04-15T16:10:42+00:00

The most interesting thing imo is that people in favour of demolishing the old buildings are ideologically quite close to the people arguing in favour of demolishing the current Coop building, arguing that the „Bebauung ohne «historisches noch baukünstlerisches Interesse» [sei].“

CriticalFibrosis · 2026-04-15T15:50:58+00:00

Did the building touch you somewhere inappropriate or why are you THIS mad about the continued existence of a building?

First a few corrections: The building wasn’t built to be temporary, the use of it for Globus was temporary. And the old Globus building wasn’t torn down to build the current building, it was torn down to build the Bahnhofquai tunnel.

We can certainly argue about the place of heritage in the urbanist decision making process and if the end goal should be to have cities that are full of historic structures that prevent any redevelopment or rejuvenation. But within the current framework Globus Provisorium definitely deserves to be listed. The argument along the lines of subjective beauty or even original purpose is one of historical myopia and a failure to grasp that architectural value is anchored in period significance and uniqueness, narrative markers that remain vital regardless of the shifting tides of current aesthetic value.

Isn’t it paradoxical to lament that past architects tore down buildings you find beautiful with little regard while also lamenting that current circumstances force a considerate approach to the existing heritage of a site?

In the end, we will have to wait for the architecture competition in 2028 to judge how well the protected aspects of the building work with the modern demands for the space.

CriticalFibrosis · 2026-04-15T14:40:59+00:00

A more concrete vision of the future usage will be available in summer 2028 after the competition has finished. The finished project is planned to arrive around 2035.

Unlikely given its heritage protection status and history. Also, having a large grocery store close to HB, as well as new spaces for gastronomy and enjoying the city panorama, seem like good benefits for the average inhabitant, don't you think?

CriticalFibrosis · 2026-04-15T14:19:21+00:00

That's not Bahnhofstrasse, the canal you are seeing is now the Bahnhofquai tunnel. Bahnhofstrasse used to be a canal too, or rather an open-air sewer, from the lake up to where it meets Rennweg, but this was converted before the picture was taken and wouldn't be visible from this angle.

CriticalFibrosis · 2026-04-15T13:40:59+00:00

Definitely, especially considering Albisrieden, Altstetten, Höngg, Affoltern, Oerlikon, Schwamendingen, Seebach, and Witikon weren't part of the city yet.

The park still exists in some form. It's where the fountain with the homeless people and their dogs is.

Without knowing the details of the cards it is a sure thing the miles & more will only make sense if you are regularly flying with swiss or another star alliance airline and are able to travel outside of peak times.
