This wonderful community is now threatened by the indroduction of numerous faceless businesses such as estate agents and chain/convenience stores.”

“Let us fight together against this cultural attack on Grunerløkka. We call on local government to investigate the problem and introduce measures such as rent capping to help maintain Grunerløkka’s charm.”
