This is awesome. What did all those people do with their cars?
how many parking spaces are erased? 20?
apparently, in Paris, 1 in 3 households have cars ☞ https://www.insee.fr/fr/statistiques/2012694#tableau-TCRD_001_tab1_departements
Who cares?
Nobody needs a car in Paris
OK then I will bite.
How do workers and tradespeople get to these places? When their refrigerator breaks and they need a repair or a new one, are those delivered on a bike?
When someone buys a mattress, do they just helicopter them in?
When people move into these apartments how does the furniture get moved in? Movers just carry it a full city block?
How do plumbers and electricians bring their equipment in? How do tilers, roofers, people who replace windows get to these places?
How do emergency services get in here? Fire trucks just dont anymore?
I dislike traffic, congestion and poor air quality, but the idea that we don't need roads is just silly. Manage them, dont delete them. This is the folly of the bourgeois.
It would be possible to deliver one via Cargo Bike yes.
I don't know how you buy mattresses, but people usually get them delivered because in stores other than IKEA you get ripped off highly. But they would also fit on a cargo bike
Also don't play dumb, nobody has something against Vehicles for Emergency Services or Tradespeople. For them there is still enough space there.
But for individual transportation you certainly don't need one, and if you do pay for a private garage
