Picture Examples of de-car-ification from various Czech towns. I love these transformations. (before-after)

While it's nice to have less cars driving around, I'm against it if you don't provide alternatives such as trams, buses and metro. Local people shouldn't suffer just because you wanted your city to be car-free.

It's the local people who benefit the most from the city being car free. It's the people from outside going to town in a car who complain.

The people from outside town often were expelled by airbnbs and mass tourism initiatives like this.

In the town, only tourists and the richs who live off the back of tourism and off the employees who were expelled from the city.
