  • Bleak, bleaker, the bleakest.

    It certainly seems to me like the majority of people (in cities) welcomes less cars and more pedestrian / bicycle infrastructure. At least if the removal of street parking happens NIMBY. Certainly cities are pushing for this, throughout all the parties, maybe not the afd and the fdp when they tried to scratch 5% of voters from the bottom of the barrel in the east with their “more cars into the cities, less pedestrians and cyclists”. Even the adac (huge german car interest group) thought this was a stupid idea.

    The news and readers comments in local newspaper were way more cycle infra critical some years ago. I think german cities are moving in the right direction, it is getting better, although slowly, i don’t share your pessimism.
