Europe Going Car-Free
 
All European cities will be car-free within the next decade or so. Paris and Oslo are among the cities that are doing this. South American and Asia are doing the same thing. We're entering a new car-free age in those places.

At the end of the 19th century municipalities had a big problem. They
didn't know how to manage the increasing volumes of the horse manure
produced by delivery carts which made cities unsustainable.

The best way to solve Europe Going Car-Free manure is to use a kill file or just
ignore it.

Supposedly diesel pollution in cities like Paris is pretty bad.

Some talk that maybe they ban them from city centers in favor of
electric vehicles. VW is forecasting that by 2025, electric cars will
make up 20-25% of sales, or 2-3 million cars.

The quality of air improved, but pollution norms became stricter.
From 2002 to 2012 pollution levels from nitrogen oxides (NOx) decreased
by 30% in Paris, pollution from PM10 particles decreased by 35%,
pollution from PM2.5 particles decreased by 40%.

I just remember reading somewhere that Mayor Hidalgo wanted to look at
reducing traffic, especially from diesel vehicles. So maybe something
like a congestion fee like London or some other measures.

She's also the one trying to eliminate or reduce vacation rentals of
apartments.

Hidalgo wants to ban old diesel vehicles, those without efficient fine
particles filters. In the historic districts of the capital, houses don't
have garages. Many residents have no car. They don't really need one for
their every day moves. In more recent neighbourhoods, residents have and
need to use their cars. Suppliers cannot deliver goods without vehicles.
Barges and donkeys are no substitute.

She's also the one trying to eliminate or reduce vacation rentals of
apartments.


Hotels owners are protesting against the development of B&Bs.

Which are the more recent neighborhoods, the ones furthest out from the
river?


As for hotels, of course, since they're able to charge really high rates
now and the city gets a lot of the VAT from hotel stays?

But part of it may be that AirBnB is a high-profile American startup.
Of course there were vacation rentals going back decades but it seems
like a startup worth billions of dollars renting a lot of vacation apts.
is the proverbial straw that broke the camel's back?

If AirBnB was a French startup instead ...

The arguments against AirBnB a

Removes apartments from housing market that is already suffering shortages.

Creates less jobs than hotels and owners might "forget" to report earnings.

Violates zoning and in general ignores all those regulations that regular
hotels have to comply with.

If AirBnB was a French startup instead ...


New York is also cracking down on AirBnB.
