Ironically, it’s always the local businesses that rabidly defend giving everything over to parking spaces. At this point I’ve given up on inner cities in Germany. They’re dying and those idiots are speeding up their own demise because they’re completely unwilling to even consider any alternative.

Here in Helsinki I’ve been seeing some local resurants 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.
I’m often impressed with Finland. The attitudes and decision making the nation expresses are often very grounded and data driven.
The trams in Helsinki were also phenomenal. I loved getting around town so easily.
