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.

They didn't know how to manage the increasing volumes of the horse manure produced by delivery carts which made cities unsustainable. |

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. |

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?

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. |
