text: In German Suburb, Life goes on without Cars by Elisabeth Rosenthal. People don't have garages attached to there houses and there really isn't any parking other then the one parking garage they have that costs almost as much as a house to keep a car there. Really it would just be a pain to have a car there. "When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way," said Heidrun Walter. She finds herself less stressed without a car and happier.
