Markets? Events? Pop up cafes?
Naaaah. Parking!
Won’t anyone think of the poor suburbanites? These walkable cities are so hostile to them, where can they park their chevy suburban megacab ultrawide edition?
Even worse, this is in Würzburg, so in Germany. We don’t even have suburban areas as bad as the USA. In fact, to the left of the picture is a sign for a public transport stop. Still, Germany is strongly controlled by the car lobby.
Yeah and carbrain is pretty widespread. Im also surprised how many people who mainly use their car have absolutely no idea about the 49€ ticket, despite it making international headlines every now and then.
Our family visited Germany this past summer. I really wanted to get the 49€ tickets, but the system to buy them is cumbersome and we weren’t around that long.
Now, we did have a visit in summer 2002. We still have our 9€ tickets from that trip. It was a wonder to be able to get around so cheaply.
Ironically, it’s always the local businesses that rabidly defend giving everything over to parking spaces. At this point I’ve given up on inner cities in Germany. They’re dying and those idiots are speeding up their own demise because they’re completely unwilling to even consider any alternative.
Würzburg Residence?
Würzburg Residence.
So who here has actually been to Würzburg and who’s simply parroting the community motto?
I’ve been there. I have to admit, I was tired after our cycling and having this gigantic field of asphalt separating the house from the city center just made me feel more tired. The rest of the city is pretty nicely walkable and has trams.
went today. the rest of the inner city is great and walkable. but this is still an eyesore and made me think of this community right away
