The Foundation for Achieving Seamless Territory
‘...The first were my parents who live in Over-toomse Veld. Few years ago, they got a letter in which it was explained that their building was going to be demolished. So they had to look for a house, pack their stuff and move from our home. The year after that, my brother received the same letter. He lived in an apartment block in Osdorp with his wife and children. They have been looking for a house for two years. Last year they did not go on vacation because they thought they might find a house in the mean while. Two weeks ago they finally got a house in Osdorp, at the end of the tram line...I thought I was lucky but in 2003 I also got a letter with the announcement of the demolition! In the last year I had to cope with a lot of stress due to my job. Now I have two interviews for a new job and if I get it then I will start thinking about looking for a new apartment for me and my two daughters...’
