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.

Being forced to spend money on cars to participate in society is a form of regressive taxation. In the U.S. for example a lower income household spends on average 32% on cars but a high income household less than 10%. The pattern holds for all countries. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
