Munich has some issues dealing with too many cars and illegal parking on the sidewalk is common.
The SPD mayor has the solution: change the law so that this rude habit becomes legal.
And what about pedestrians, people with wheelchair, strollers? I guess they’ll have to adapt.
Fuck cars!
The solution here is to tow the cars parked on sidewalks, €1000 for the fee, that money goes to improved alternate and public transport. More parking is just demand inducing and will make it worse.
Towing is a very predatory and sketchy industry when you let it off the leash, that’s not the answer
The answer is to centralize parking around highways at the edge of areas, then make it as inconvenient as possible to drive on the surface streets. Very low speed limits, people crossing whenever they want, and only disabled people can park on the street for more than 90 minutes
Then just pour on the buses. Go very heavy with enforcement initially, and things will normalize.
You have to make driving the inconvenient option
