How many cars, how much they are driven and how they are driven, depend on urban development.
Urban development -> cars -> pollution
If you want less cars going around, design your cities to allow and incentivize people not to use them. See recent developments in Paris as an example:

I think this is good practice from repair people: my motorbike mechanic would always keep the old parts when replacing them, to show me the status when I was taking the motorbike back. It’s a sort of transparency move that I actually appreciate.
And moreover, the old part is still yours, so it makes sense to give it back to you, unless you explicitly say otherwise
You mean they don’t repair the plastoc covers?
I guess that the same number of cells also dies in the same period!
Conclusions are similar to this video from Berm Peak channel, that could find goof helemts (in terms of protection) at low price.
However he advises to be aware of the existence of helemts on amazon that would not protect at all!

Carabinieri are a police force that is under military hierarchy, but they are trained to operate in a civil context. They act and are equipped as a police force.
But the army mentioned in the news would be the one used to fight wars, with uniform and automatic weapons, not Carabienieri
Ok, I got your point
What I wanted to say, on the other hand, is that for one guy with an axe that ends up in the news, you have 100 guys that may act aggressively and/or violently. And as it is today, doctors and medical personnel has to deal with those too. A soldier would be even less suitable in those cases…
A soldier is trained to deal with enemies with at least an automatic rifle.
Policemen are instead trained to deal with crazies with axes, knives, rods… etc. and possibly neutrilize them without killing them. They should be able to try a negotiation even. What can a soldier with an automatic rifle already in his hand do? Shoot.
It’s easy:
Using army for public order, why? Soldiers are trained to fight, not ti deal with problematic, probably unarmed people.
Just use the police. There used to be police posts at ERs, they were cut. We don’t need a new solution…
I use a poncho from decatholon when it rains and it works fine. I also have a couple rain overshoes, because the feet aren’t protected.
All in all i think that for my case this is the best solution, because it doesn’t rain often, the climate here is warm (the poncho is better for sweat than a rain jacket) and we have no strong winds, which would make you fly with a poncho
I was genuinely surprised, because what you wrote was really different from what I experienced. But my experience i Munich is objectively limited. I somehow hoped that Germany, and Munich (along with other European cities) could be used as a model of how to do things right.
What drives me mad here is the absolute inaction
Exactly, and all this stuff about counting the cars is to try to move something. I have not much hope honestly, but excluding violence and vandalism, I think this is as much as someone can do
The city even responds to requests with the risk of damage to cars (!!) instead of considering humans.
This is completely crazy. In Milan they justify bad parking by saying things like “it has always been like this” or “yeah, but you can go around it” etc. FFS, do your job!!
Yes burning them all would have been much more satisfying.
But we needed to know how many matches we needed to buy 😈
I don’t know… I have been there twice in the last 4 years, and I went in many places (touristy and not, I was there for work, Just as examples: Truderinger Str. or Marsstraße are not so central) and never saw anything like that. For sure I didn’t see cars parked on the bus stop or on the zebra crossings.
But anyway, with a similar car density (but people density is almost double in Milan) I am not be surprised that the situation is comparable in both places.
So, well, you should organize and count them too! I think that such a status is unacceptable independently of where it happens 🙂
I have been in Munich… Not remotely comparable.
Did you see the pictures in the article below? They are not an exception. Cars are parked like this in all Milan, on all the streets.

Relevant video in which a guy stands still at the side of a road next to a pond:
Hands free: he gets a lot of splashes by uncaring passing drivers
Holding a brick in his hand: drivers slow down and avoid the pond.
It’s really funny:

As usual drivers care more about their car than other people’s wellbeing.
BTW: any shop that sells inflatable bricks?
