text: Now a days in VAUBAN, Germany people living in these lovely suburbs are living without automobiles. This area specifically is now known as a car free zone, all except for a main tram that runs from Vauban to downtown Freiburg. Although there arent any cars running on the streets doesnt mean ownership isnt allowed, you are allowed to own a vehicle, granted you park it in 1 of 2 spots. Either a 40,000 dollar registered parking garage, or at home in your garage. Vauban is known to have 70 percent of people without cars and 57 percent sold their cars to live in Vauban. Someone by the name of Heidrun Walter, a media trainor stated "When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way."
