text: Vauban, Germany, home to 5,500 residents, is an upscale community thriving with suburban pioneers, is a prime example of the type of community trying to make a difference, that is now trending. Where residents must pay a whopping fee of $40,000 for one space, in a large garage, at the edge of the only known car ownership. Forbidden street parking, driveways, and home garages is what makes that bill ever so large. Not a car is to be thought of while walking through the streets fresh air bombarded with bicyclists and walkers.
