@cmconseils Where is all those cars?

@shura @cmconseils probably in underground parkings that were under used.

@pethil @shura @cmconseils i didn't think too many people would let go of their car, but i can find a source for -20% ownership for paris itself between 1999 and 2015 and hints the trend continued steadily, so you might be right.

@tshirtman @shura @cmconseils you know I have no idea actually. I'm just hoping the goal would be to just get rid of most of these cars.

@pethil @shura @cmconseils I would hope so too, by i was not that optimistic, i was pretty surprised to see that there was a significant downward trend even before the current wave of changes that made it a lot easier.

I guess I left Paris at exactly the wrong time (2020 😆). Biking there before that was pretty challenging.
