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.
