text: To start off, in the article"In German suburb, life goes on without cars", by Elisabeth Rosenthal,it states "car ownership is allowed but there are only two places to park-large garages at the edge of development, where a car-owner buys a space, for $40,000, along with a home." (para2) in other words its expensive. Then it goes on and says, "'when I had a car I was always tense. I'm much more happier this way,' said Heidrun Walter, a media trainer and mother of two, as she walked verdant streets where the swish of bicycles ..." (para3).Ms. Walter is more calm now that she doesnt have a car. In paragraph 5 more reasons come up. "...is a huge impediment to current efforts to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions from tailpipes....Passenger cars are responsible for 12 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe...and up to 50 percent in some car-intensive areas in the United States." One of many causes of greeenhouse gas is cars. Next, "in previous bills, 80 percent of appropriations have by law gone to highays and only 20 percent to other transport."(para9)which means that its expensive and most of this things money is wasted on is things that cars need.
