The absurdity of the proposal is already in the title, and shows how motonormativity is spread all over the world.
Berlin has a very good public transit system, and a few 30 km/h zones cannot be that bad.
I would love to hear opinions from someone who lives there!

The fact that they have improved air quality is not sufficient reason? Do they think air quality is like painting a house, that it only has to be done every couple of years?
Welcome to Germany, land of the pedantry-industrial complex.
I am totaly with you on that. That fact that those zones did improve the air quality would be a reason for me to keep them.
They have a new conservative government in Berlin which wants to end “the war against cars” and rolls every progress back. They also remove bike lanes “because they cost parking spaces”
It doesn’t make sense, they are conservatives after all
I wonder why conservatives are so retarded, in each country.
It’s Germany, if air quality is not in the pre-approved list of reasons, then it’s not acceptable.
But don’t worry, once they repair the fax machine they can start processing the request to update the list. In about 7 years it’ll be done. Well unless the administration is voted out then the new one might forget about it.
