We need more green spaces in Beirut
Air pollution is very high in Beirut, causing lung cancer for the Lebanese population. In addition to that, there are no public areas for people to hang out in the city. Thus, creating more green spaces is an essential solution to these two issues.

The government should not allow new buildings
alae sadek
This so we can keep more space for green spaces and playgrounds for kids.
Pros
alae sadek
More green spaces and playgrounds will also limit traffic, because people will have these spaces more close to their houses. And kids can go alone and don't need their parents.

Privately Fund the Public Green Areas/ Public Gardens
Sarah
Since the government won't fund it, I think it would be wise to create a petition for the public to sign, and then ask NGOs to fund this project, or foreign investors. Keeping in mind that this garden will be of free access to everyone. So maybe, we can add special features to monetize it in order to sustain and maintain it.  
Pros
ayman
I think foreign governments and NGOs would help us with this environmental  project since climate change is a major issue now.

Cons
ayman
Even with the money from NGOs, we still need the government's permission to change the city's plan and structure. However, I believe that this is still possible with time.

Convince the government to plant more trees
ayman
Green areas can be created by planting trees in empty spaces, in addition to placing chairs for people to assemble and enjoy their time together.
Pros
Sarah
I totally agree. So maybe you mean public gardens. People can sit there and take their kids to a free park with greenery, especially those who can't afford paid parks.

Cons
Sarah
We already have public gardens in Lebanon that are closed and neglected by the government. I don't think that the government will fund a public garden at this point. It doesn't even maintain the existing ones.

Slechte huizenmarkt Nederland
Huren zijn nog nooit zo hoog geweest. Een huis kopen is voor velen een droom die waarschijnlijk pas heel laat werkelijkheid zal worden of misschien wel helemaal niet. Sociale huur duurt jaren en expats met hoge lonen en bijzondere voordelen, drijven de huren en koopsommen van woningen op.

Power cuts
I live in Mar Mikhail and we as others are experiencing frequent power cuts. What makes us different from the rest is the fact that we had electricity 24/7 and no one thought that we will one day reach a point where we will be forced to get "Ishtirak". Currently we only have 2 suppliers in the neighborhood and both suppliers don't have spots so each household is getting 5 amperes if lucky. 5 ampers does not power anything!
