text: Vauban, a suburb in Germany, made conditions in the neighborhood almost impossible to own a car. While it may seem like an annoyance, many of the residents are happier this way. According to Heidrun Walter, a resident of Vauban, "When I had a car I was always tense, I'm much happier this way." While many people may see having to give up or not use their can an annoyance, if they get used to it they might find that not using their cars may be a good thing.
