Only 30% of Parisians drive in the city. There are real accessibility issues, but cars are probably the worst solution. We could add elevators to more metro stations, or improve bus service, etc. But having a car in the city and parking it is a costly provilege that not many can enjoy. Also cars are super bad for public health, noise pollution and the environment.

> Local parks and generally streets are so dirty that you have to wash your children from head to toe as soon as they have set foot outside.

That's an insane hyperbole.

> And I'm not even talking about used seringes and broken glass in certain parts of the city.

Not my experience, at all.
