How do people receive deliveries at these locations, or transport children?

> Transport children You know you can do this on foot or on bike too right? https://cupofjo.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/biking-three-kids-brooklyn-725x483.jpg https://cupofjo.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/biking-three-... Part of the idea of a walkable city is that everything you need - nursery, groceries, parks, schools, housing - is within a 15 minute walk. For the centre of Paris that is easily achievable for many.

  You don't even need a special bike for 3 kids https://twitter.com/fietsprofessor/status/684397797358067713 https://twitter.com/fietsprofessor/status/684397797358067713

    Well, and then the police stops you and fines you for child endangerment and unsafe behaviour on the road. I'm not the overprotective kind, but this example is one of extreme recklessness.

      This isn't even the only problem with kids ... Groceries for a family of 5 you won't be taking on a bike or public transport. Too heavy. Too bulky.

        Since the first UK lockdown I've been doing all my grocery shopping for my family of 5 by bike. I go a bit more often than I would have done by car, and I've started buying all my meat separately at a local butcher. But it's amazing how much you can fit into 2 panniers and a rack.

  Well I would love to see you haul two propane tanks a 15 minute walk distance.

    Not a problem https://twitter.com/tfl/status/1151064069027201024?lang=en https://twitter.com/tfl/status/1151064069027201024?lang=en However, that's the sort of legitimate delivery that's actually a lot easier if the roads are not so congested with people driving themselves to work in huge comfortable 4x4s.

  This is not realistic in any kind of inclement weather or at night. I guess these central areas of Paris will become completely unsuitable to families, who will be forced out to suburban areas.

    Why is it not realistic at night? And umbrellas have been around for a tad bit more than 4000 years by now. I walked or took public transport to school on my own since I was 7 until I graduated from university.

      Good thing families get 7 years of maternity leave then!

    Not everyone shares the American dream of driving an suv around suburbia to every play date, park outing or sports club.
