@kottke There's still all that smoking😉

@kottke makes me want to move back there.

@kottke Hallo @Duesseldorf, wann machen wir das nach?

@kottke Paris is mainly a sea of traffic with some parks around it.

@kottke

I'd just be happy with sidewalks that didn't abruptly end when the road and neighborhood keep on going.

@kottke They are showing us how it is done. We are afraid of the cost and offending our ruling class.

@kottke that’s better than the 70s. My dad lived in a western suburb. The rain used to bleach the color out of rose petals!

@kottke I've been to Paris last week, after I had read on here so much about how much the traffic has gotten reduced. Let me tell you: This is absolutely not visible. But on the overcrowded crossings you now as a pedestrian also have the great option to be also run over by several cyclist instead only by the many cars.

@kottke Berlin could never.

@kottke wir haben eine Verkehrssenatorin von der #CDU, die stoppen lieber bereits EU-finanzierte Maßnahmen und verursachen so einen Haufen Kosten für #Berlin als auch nur ein einziges Auto einzuschränken.
Mit der #CDUCSU sind Radfahrer, Fußgänger und generell jeder der gerne mal im Grünen atmet gefickt.

Ich verzeihe der CDU auch nie auf #Europa -ebene das Glyphosat und die Uploadfilter.

@kottke @siracusa Unlikely to happen in Boston. Too many authorities, commissions, and lawyers.

@kottke I am sure it is quieter too.

@kottke Rome would be another city that would be 10 times better (for living and exploring) with this change.

@kottke In almost a dozen years, Paris has closed 0.8 gross of streets to cars, removed 41.6 long thousand parking spots, tripled parking fees for SUVs, and built more than 800 miles of bike lanes.
