Or do the same stuff on an EU-wide level? I bet there are a lot of other cities that could use her kind of changes.

Problem is, that cities are politically gerry-mandered into entitities with SFH developed areas and countrysides. That’s why we don’t see urbanism as the powerful political force that it could and should be.

Well send her with great pleasure, wherever you want and don’t feel as you need to ship her back. Just ensure that for once she pushes for policies that aren’t just intended to punish the people who live outside of her city while she maintains the status quo for her people and lets them do whatever they want.

Don’t the SUVs in Berlin get stolen within a couple of days anyway?

Edit: my brother who lives in Berlin got himself an SUV (Kia Sportage) and whenever he found a parking spot near his home, he’d leave it there for weeks because he was so happy to park near home. His car got stolen. Now he takes the U-Bahn to work and he’s actually happier than before. He got his money back for the stolen car, so there’s that.

“The move will not apply to Paris residents’ parking.” 🤡

As usual. I work in Paris but decided to move way out of the city. Technically still Paris metro but it’s plain countryside, small villages, forest and all. Most people here drive regular cars. Farmers and people who work in the forest or manual jobs now tend to use Asian style pick-ups. But when I exit the subway on the days I’m at the office, I’m suddenly surrounded by people who live in Paris and barely exit it (the surburbs, can you imagine the infamy and the poverty?) who drive massive Land Rovers which have never ever seen mud since they were built. They just want to ensure that people from the suburb don’t go inside the city limits, and if they do that it’ll only those with pockets full of cash.

As usual, Hidalgo is full of shit.

Good for them, fuck large cars. They are child killers.

Hey, hey! That’s an unfair take. They also kill adults, seniors in particular.

Yeah but the public doesn’t pearl clutch like they do when they “think of the children”.

No, it’s because they are particularly dangerous to children.
