I last went to Paris in 2013 and it was grey and miserable. It was also December, but mostly it just felt sooty and dirty. Guess it was just cars. Hooray for bikes!
Air pollution has dropped significantly in #Paris in the last 15 years. Mayor Anne Hidalgo’s leadership has traded car space for green space, safe bike space, kid space.. and traded pollution for people.
Good trade.
Good trade.

Citizens would be on their best behavior if their needs are met, if they’re life is full of less stress, they can feed their families, and pay their fucking bills. They don’t need child monitors.
