It’s not only Hungary. It’s countries that like to take the benefits but refuse to stand up for the common values.

housing...

@abhayakara oh yes, housing!
The European commission last year announced the affordable housing plan. It’s fairly new for the EU to get involved in this topic, but I think there’s some interesting stuff there.
Like how do short-term rental platforms, like Airbnb affect house prices in highly touristic areas? And what are the solutions to regulate those? I’ve seen some cool initiatives coming out of certain cities, the EU could make sure that those solutions are shared across borderers… -

@karlos @hpod16 @grob I'm Mastodon's resident loudmouth demanding #EUreform, but as long as member states are a thing (which, you know... I'd not personally miss them, but realistically in our lifetime they will be) there will always be a veto on constitutional matters like accession and treaty change, that's the only area in which it makes sense to keep it
