Also a depiction of how much of that space is actually paid for by car owners with registration fees. Someone has to pay the road fees to maintain all that walking space too.
Also to consider that the way the shops are build like that is because of cars not foot traffic. If it were a walking space that was explicitly built for walking and then was actually ‘surrendered’ to cars it would have been built quite differently to begin with. So it is far from accurate.
Aah, yes, all the European cities which were built way before the car and look like that were built because of cars 🤡
transit and emergency vehicles should be allowed to be there.
And no one, absolutely nobody, has said otherwise.
