text: In a suburb in Germany, they have a car-free neighborhood. They are allowed to own cars but it costs $40,000 and they can only park at the edge of the neighborhood. This alone caused 70% of the neighborhood to not own cars (source 1). A woman in Vauban,the neighborhood,said that not owning a car makes her less tense and more happy. With this you can conclude that most of her neighbors feel this way also, otherwise they wouldn't have moved there. Having less stressed people, less polluted ariways and less car accidents always sounds like a good solution to me.
