  • Nordhavn is not a city, though, it’s a district. But IMO it is exactly what is needed. All the basics within 10mins and great culture no more than half an hour away. Lots of Danish cities are like that though. I currently live in Aalborg. When I lived in one of the districts furthest away from the city center I could walk 10mins to everything; supermarkets, barber, pizzerias, a sandwich place, a café, a doctor and a dentist. Primary school, daycare and the like was also within that zone if I needed it. And it is all connected with an intricate bike and walking pathway system

    If need be and I wanted to go to the cinema or go to town and drink busses took me there in about half an hour several times an hour, even at night.

    I kinda miss it though, but I decided to move to the city center where everything is within 10mins.















  • Business as usual, we had an “oopsie missile” that destroyed a small neighbourhood of vacation homes once: https://da.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hovsa-missilet

    DeepL translation:

    The Hovsa missile was a Harpoon missile that was accidentally fired by the frigate Peder Skram at noon on September 6, 1982 from the southern part of the Kattegat.

    After about 34 kilometers of flight at low altitude, the missile weighing more than 500 kg with an explosive charge of more than 200 kg hit some trees in a cottage area near Lumsås, Sønderstrand in northwest Zealand. At 11:32, the missile exploded at a height of approximately five meters at the boundary between the two holiday homes, Pilelunden 2 and Søndre Strandvej 3. Beforehand, it had torn several power lines. No one was injured in the accident, but four holiday homes were totally damaged, while 130 others suffered damage to a greater or lesser extent.
