    @comfy All this hate because the car lobbyists know that just a few cities moving away from car-centric infrastructure will show Europeans how much more liveable cities can become.
    And to protect their huge profits, they will do everything they can to force people to continue living in overcrowded, dirty, noisy, brutalist hellscapes designed for cars only. And make them pay for it with their taxes, through subsidies and the constant cost of renewing the car infrastructure.

    Go Paris!

      Depends, most poor people doesn’t live in city center but at its border. So they use lot cars or rer.

      The rental price is crazy high there.

      They need to divide rent price and create more public transport to connect the outside city to its center. So it’s a very difficult project, so urban planner sketched ideas to decentralize paris from its center.

        Nah. Only 4% of the trips of people inside Paris are made by car. If people inside Paris can do it, then so can people from outside Paris. Leave your car outside of the city and use the methods of transport that 96% of Parisians use. There is no right to car travel.

    Freedom is not “being able to drive anywhere.” Freedom is being able to go anywhere with just your own body without a giant metal cage around it.
