The buildings, which appear as the ones that need to be demolished, is not the right buildings. It is true that there to be torn about 1000 homes down. But it is not decided which homes will be talking about yet, it says in the press release.

In the press release, says Michael Bruhn Frederiksen:

- of course, I am møgærgerlig about it here. Ekstra story to come, unfortunately, to create a lot of uncertainty for many people, if the dwelling is not affected.
