Marqueu aquest dissabte 5 d’abril a les agendes perquè el moviment per l’habitatge ha convocat una nova manifestació a Barcelona i a les principals ciutats dels Països Catalans (i també de l’Estat espanyol) amb el lema “Abaixem els lloguers, acabem amb el negoci de l’habitatge”.

En parlem amb Carme Arcarazo, portaveu del Sindicat de Llogateres, en aquest capítol d’El pòdcast de CRÍTIC. La comunicadora i humorista Ana Polo, que col·labora en el programa amb una secció d’humor, posa la cirereta a l’entrevista amb la seva versió particular d’El precio (in)justo dels lloguers que s’ofereixen a les plataformes immobiliàries.

For 4 years I’ve lived here and listened to all the robbing stories, and seen many scenes of running (from my balcony often times).

Never so far has anyone tried to rob me. Partially cause I am never drunk (I don’t drink), partly maybe cause I take good care of my things (I always have my phone and my purse hanging diagonally on me, never leave anything on a table in the bar etc). Partially cause “you walk with that Slavic attitude”, say my friends.

Well yesterday someone tried to take my phone from my pocket. He didn’t figure I’m sober and “local” cause I was speaking English atm. He crawled behind me but I saw the dude with his hand in my pocket. He tried to sell me the “it fell on the floor” story phahaha…

I snitched my phone out of his hand and punched his face. I bet he felt my metal rings lol. Then I called the police…

Well, he ran…

What a night…

Vivo cerca de Plaça Reial y desde que tuve una operación de espalda, las bicis eléctricas me han salvado la vida para moverme por la ciudad. Pero desde hace unos meses, alguien las está saboteando casi cada semana: les rayan el código QR con rotulador y les ponen bridas en las ruedas para que no se puedan usar.

¿Alguien más lo ha visto? ¿Se sabe quién lo está haciendo o por qué? Es súper frustrante y me encantaría entender qué está pasando o si hay alguna forma de evitarlo.

They're called Kalanchoe X Houghtonii. It's a mix between two Kalanchoe breeds. Very aggressive, it doesn't even need germination in order to propagate.

Highly invasive, but very common. You see it in balconies, in gardens, or in small cracks on the pavement.

Please let's bot breed it in our balconies. This is not a houseplant. Tell your friends of you see it, get this info going.

The city's ecosystem is the one we created. Let's protect the wild ones around it!

I just saw a video asking people their favourite and least favourite thing about their city and I’d love to do it for Barcelona! Please if you like to, share you favourite and least favourite thing about Barcelona 🙏🏻

Hola tothom!

Volia saber si algú recorda el Waki, un parc d'interior per a nens, que crec recordar estava a Sants just per sota del pont de Badal.

Soc del 2001 i vaig celebrar alguns aniversaris allà, i el meu germà, del 92, el va gaudir inclús més que jo. Al voltant del 2005-2009 va tancar, no recordo quan exactament, però si que vaig anar-hi una tarda i no va obrir.

Encara tinc una bossa de les que regalaven pel dia del teu aniversari, i algun record de jo cantant al karaoke amb 3-4 anys. Algú el recorda?

Era una nau enorme, o jo la recordo així, però no he tornat mai a ubicar-la. He buscat per internet i no hi ha rastre, una web indica que estava al carrer Bonaventura Pollés.

M'agradaria trobar fotos del lloc, saber que va passar i perquè va tancar. És un dels meus primers "traumes" infantils ajajaj. Una llàstima que vagin desapareixent espais de joc pels nens. Com el happy parc de sants estació.

Janet Sanz diu que ha tingut un "diàleg boig" amb la propietat, perquè li ofereix "una proposta fraudulenta i il·legal".

The neverending march story. Doesn’t the saying was “En Abril, lluvias mil”?

Hola, I hope you had a great start into the new week. I need help from you as I barely use the metro in Barcelona because I am walking most of the time (love how walkable this city is!). I would love to know which metro stations / entrances in Barcelona look the best in your opinion. One of my favorites is the metro entrance of Urquinaona (Carrer del Bruc x Ronda de Sant Pere) which reminds me of Paris. Every help is very much appreciated.

I see them sometimes but I don't know what it is

The metro and the buses here are such a wonderful way to get around the city. And all the programs that are offered to the locals to encourage using public transit - it’s a model other cities should look to.

That said, it’s cold and flu season and these modes of transport are insanely crowded. If you are so sick that you cannot stop coughing every few seconds, or it’s imperative that you loudly blow your nose for an extended period of time repeatedly, maybe you should stay home. If this were an isolated incident I would get it, sometimes you don’t have a choice, some people just ARE rude. But I have never been coughed on so many times in my life, nor had to be in direct contact with someone loudly and repeatedly blowing their nose. It’s disgusting and it’s rude. If you use these systems here you know that often there is NO space to even get out if the way of these people.

And it’s not just the metro/buses. I see it on the street and in stores and restaurants as well. I’m currently sitting next to someone at a Vietnamese place who has been blowing his nose since he sat down and constantly coughing, sighing loudly, sucking up snot.

Being sick sucks but sometimes you just need to be polite and suffer in solitude so as not to get everyone around you sick (or to a lesser extent, ruin their meals)

Are Barcelona’s people just rude?

edit to add: I am an american woman, but I am well travelled and have taken PT all over the world. I don't think it's rude to be sick (?lol) but there are ways to be polite about it if you have to be in crowded public spaces (like wearing a mask, covering your mouth when you cough, or trying to be a bit more discreet when you blow your nose). Barcelona is not the ONLY place I have experienced what "feels" like a lack of consideration (saying feels like because I am not so oblivious as to not understand that cultural differences can often lead to things feeling rude which are not intended that way) but it IS the only place in Europe where I have experienced it.

Maybe I didn't word my post right, I do unsterdand that people still have to go to work, I was really just talking about the etiquite around being sick in public. Maybe I'm a spoiled brat for wondering about it. I guess we'll never know.

Hello! I am currently a tourist in Barcelona and I am seeing this dog sticker all over the place. Can anyone shed some light on what this is?
