“How Does Paris Stay Paris? By Pouring Billions Into Public Housing.”
“1/4 of residents in the French capital live in government-owned housing, part of an aggressive plan to keep lower-income Parisians— & their businesses— in the city.”

Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users.

We ARE traffic.
That’s a product of our individual choices, as well as our collective choices, including who we choose to give massive city-building powers to and the choices they make with that power.
