Markets? Events? Pop up cafes?
Naaaah. Parking!
Wonât 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 WĂźrzburg, so in Germany. We donât 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.
Ironically, itâs always the local businesses that rabidly defend giving everything over to parking spaces. At this point Iâve given up on inner cities in Germany. Theyâre dying and those idiots are speeding up their own demise because theyâre completely unwilling to even consider any alternative.
Here in Helsinki Iâve been seeing some local restaurants converting the parking spots up front into patio space for the summer.
Once it was clear they could choose between two parked cars, or four more tables for customers, a lot seem to be picking the latter.
Here in the towns around a lot of these parking lots are also used for those. The parking is open for cars when not used for other things. A sign Warns when parking is not allowed when market is setup. And other days the parking is closed off. The rest of the time it can be used for parking. I thinks thatâs at least good use of the space.
Donât it always seem to goâŚ
WĂźrzburg Residence?
WĂźrzburg Residence.
Diese alten Kästen da in Hintergrund kÜnnte man ja auch noch planieren und statt dessen mehr Parkplätze bauen!
The Residence is a wonderful place to tour. I highly recommend it. The little cafe on the right side is pretty decent too.
