Paris showing that meaningful change is possible
Air pollution has dropped significantly in #Paris in the last 15 years. Mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social’s leadership has traded car space for green space, safe bike space, kid space.. and traded pollution for people.
Good trade.
Good trade.

I suppose I meant it as a way to avoid the "we don't have enough evidence" excuse for avoiding or delaying action. But you're right, there will always be trade-offs with PH interventions!
