While this is mostly about parking issues, the part that stood out most to me in this is:

A study published in the Journal of Safety Research last year found that children were eight times more likely to die when struck by an SUV than those struck by a passenger car.

Eight times! To me, that's insane. Even if it were 50% that would be very bad, but this is 700% more!

    You jest, but this is exactly what the German panel who’s responsible for our traffic „recommendations“ proposed recently: make the parking spots larger…

          Leaving nuclear power was decided on by the conservatives and social democrats in 2011 with an end of life plan until 2023. This decision was already prepared in 2002 btw. And they're not closed in favor of fossils, but in favor of renewables. Sure, fossils are still in the mix and we can debate if nuclear power is considered sustainable. But the Greens didn't close nuclear power plants in favor of fossil fuels.
