Sometimes, banning cars is a lot like banning indoor smoking. Much controversy and then, with hindsight, it's hard to believe how we could ever accept it.

A temporary closure is a good tool. Calms the opposition and brings out the advocates. Can be done at low cost and quickly. Then if it works...

@giulio_mattioli that analogy doesn't bode well for Berlin where indoor smoking is still fairly popular, unfortunately

@chdorner Indeed! Doesn't bode well for Germany and Austria

@giulio_mattioli Yes! A frequent bit of conversation here in the U.S.: Remember those crazy days when restaurants, airplanes, etc. were full of cigarette smoke?

@giulio_mattioli I was walking to get my kids from the academy and, between people smoking and people driving, I realized I couldn't breathe properly during my time out there.
