All Cities in Europe....

Are going automobile-free. The ############# movement and the Green
Parties are winning.

Gee! I thought that the Greens were doing rather poorly recently.
Riding on their modest past success I thought.

That's the 'hash-ish' movement, I take it.

And is it 'winning', or 'whining'? Inquiring minds want to know.

Are you any relation to the "no-smoking restaurants" poster?

The environmental movement in Europe is succeeding in getting the Continent
to move away from auto travel. Europeans never got into cars you know. They
hate them like the plague. Hence car-free cities that are going up. They're
going up here, too.

What alternate universe do you inhabit ?

Here on planet Earth in Anno Domini 2004 there are
more cars than ever before. Consider the rise in ownership
levels between 1990 and 2000

Units are No of cars per 1000 inhabitants

Country 1990 2000
-------- ----- -----

Belgium 388 458
France 415 463
Germany 485 521
Italy 483 563
UK 375 419

You can think whatever fantasy you like. Having visited europe recently
you are nuts. It is impossible to prove anything to someone who will
not see.

It is true but it is Los Angeles del Muerte a small remote village in a
country not to be named where the inhabitants got tired of trying to
retrieve cars from their mud holes. Bicycles will also be banned since
they sink as well because of the narrow tires. Only ATVs will be
permitted. It is hopped that they will spray the mud sufficiently to
dig a drainage channel and restore the streets.

And I´ve heard rumors that Los Angeles will go car free from next week
- only bicycles will be allowed.

Perhaps it's your writing style, but I'm still laughing out loud at my
work desk at this one - having lived in LA for many years, the image
just strikes me as hilarious - I'd love to see a day in the life of LA
sans automobiles....total chaos and such a loss of posturing! However
would they get along? Hilarious! Thank you.
