text: In Germany, there were some different rules when you were to buy your house, in the overall price, you had to pay for your parking $40,000. Home garages are forbidden so are street parkings and driveways. THe only place that is not car-free is "downtown where Freigburg runs". Cars are allowed to be owned by someone but there are only two places where you could park which is the parking you pay for when buying your house. This has caused Vauban's families to not own cars at all.
