“Air pollution fell substantially as Paris restricted car traffic and made way for parks, people-streets and bike-lanes.”
Better for the climate, better for health, better for livability and quality of life.
Common sense.
Such a no-brainer, it’s remarkable that more cities HAVEN’T done the same.

@BrentToderian agree. What's difficult to change is the mindset, here in Brisbane people would scream murder if they were "deprived of their right to drive" 🙄
Public transport fares are now a flat $0.5, yet not many people want to give up the convenience of driving.
Petrol prices are now artificially kept low by government subsidies, but even when they were sky high, not many people gave up the car.
It's real stubbornness and entitlement
