Really? How so? I've wanted to visit for decades; I haven't been scared, just poor 😅
Paris did the same thing Mamdani wants to do in NYC: Turn roads into green spaces and pedestrian paths/bikeways and make it much easier to get around without a car. While the people there were at first unsure about it and complained, they've been really happy with it now that it's proven itself to be beneficial. The air is cleaner, and the streets are safer and far less congested. It's totally transformed Paris.
That sounds great. I'm really happy for Paris!
Good news: its going to become much more affordable soon. Rent freezes, free busses, $30 minimum wage..
Have a look at this short video of some streets "before and after". Hidalgo (the mayor) has given Paris a complete makeover. People are swimming in the Siene again!
