When she is done in Paris can she pleeeeaaase come to Berlin?
Or do the same stuff on an EU-wide level? I bet there are a lot of other cities that could use her kind of changes.
Problem is, that cities are politically gerry-mandered into entitities with SFH developed areas and countrysides. That's why we don't see urbanism as the powerful political force that it could and should be.
Well send her with great pleasure, wherever you want and donβt feel as you need to ship her back. Just ensure that for once she pushes for policies that arenβt just intended to punish the people who live outside of her city while she maintains the status quo for her people and lets them do whatever they want.
Don't the SUVs in Berlin get stolen within a couple of days anyway?
Edit: my brother who lives in Berlin got himself an SUV (Kia Sportage) and whenever he found a parking spot near his home, he'd leave it there for weeks because he was so happy to park near home. His car got stolen. Now he takes the U-Bahn to work and he's actually happier than before. He got his money back for the stolen car, so there's that.
