Paris is one of the most desirable places to live in the world. I assure you the people who fight tooth and nail to live there don't need to be "herded" there by the government.

wow, so much edge, what a juicy take! let's analyze it
what exactly is wrong by making short trips that can readily be made on foot or bike on foot or bike? why would it instead be desirable to walk to a parked car, drive through one of the densest, most congested urban spaces on the planet (probably taking longer than just walking or riding a bike), polluting and endangering yourself and others, and then have to look and pay for a park at your destination? (parking has never been easy to find in central Paris) like, I'm just at loss, is it the fact that it's healthier and you hate being healthy? that it keeps the air clean and doesn't endanger people, and you prefer everyone pollute and endanger each other instead? have you never taken a walk or breathed fresh air? most people like doing that. is it that it's free and you hate poor people and want to contain them to specific areas they can't exist outside of if they can't afford to drive? enlighten us?
but ok, let's say you travel by car. you then have to be in state databases, subject yourself and your vehicle to fitness requirements, and you will be subject to far more laws and regulations while transporting yourself, including but not limited to speed cameras, breath tests, having appropriate insurance, police stops etc etc. you will also be traveling on state owned roads. is it that you like this degree of state interference in your life, you think it's desirable for the state to invade every aspect of something as simple as how you get around every day?
