i dont understand how you cannot see it only favor rich people and landlords…
rich people will always drive car. they will use uber. and you know where they come from? the suburbs. young unemployed people are doing uber drivers. so they will drive rich parisians and chinese/americans tourists on weekdays and on the weekend because they are forbidden to drive in paris they ll commute via the 1 train per hour they get from their suburb and that is only if there is no construction on their line, neither strike, neither canceled trains, nor delayed.
fixing trains is not possible when you have to take 3-4 trains to commute… not even talking about people in villages with no trains. a car costs a few thousand euros. you can even get an electric car almost for free if you are on low income. a 1 year train pass costs 800 euros+ and that is if it covers your lines.
you are crazy to believe everyone would bike. again rich and healthy people bike. poor people dont bike, old people dont bike, sick people or people with a handicap dont bike. you are creating a society for the wealthy and the healthy. its what facists wanted to do. this is not empathy. go out of your confort zone go live in a parisian suburb in 93 and see how is the life there when you need to start your day at night and there is no train. go try to ride a bike when your work is a 4 hours drive. paris is one of the densest city in the world i dont know what you talking abt additional housing.
