The Minister of Housing said no to a tour of "Oslo's darkest residential environments", which we saw when we joined.

The article reports on a visit by Bjørnar Skjæran, the Norwegian Minister of Housing, to examine 'Oslo's darkest housing environments' as part of an investigation into poor living conditions in the city. Instead of accepting an invitation from daylight researchers to view the hidden side of the housing sector, Skjæran opted to observe these areas firsthand. During the visit, he expressed criticism, calling the situation 'a bit cowardly,' referencing comments made by Arnkell J. Petersen, a researcher at Norway’s University of Environmental and Bio Sciences. The piece highlights concerns over inadequate lighting and indoor climate conditions in certain housing areas, raising questions about the adequacy of current policies and oversight.
