For the record, Mannheim, 🎶 where the streets have no names 🎶, letters and numbers its blocks instead, according to a scheme only a visionary loon could love.
I moved out of them mostly in order to get packages delivered - back in the day nobody seemed to believe L2 was a real address.
I agree about the bike path. Particularly the change it seeks to bring. Taking a closer look, even though the elected local government is in place by vote, it os actually not Democratic when we realize that the CDU appeal is also benefiting from the economic and symbolic capital they have collected. Also, the beneficiaries of such program changes does not necessarily represent the people, because just because we elect politicians doesn’t mean their agenda is for the benefit of its constituency. The politicians can easily serve privilege, which is usually actually the minority, rather than the majority.

My daughter lives there and I was trying to understand it myself but it's so crowded with cars you almost get killed while trying to sort it out.

Isn't it a Churchill quote about how democracy is the worst form of government but the best one we've got?
