One of the more interesting comments on this thread was about carshares - we have one too: Commun'auto (Comme une auto!) Friends of mine set it up. That means people who want to go to IKEA or other hypermarchés, or go for a weekend excursion, don't have to consider buying a car. It is extremely successful. <BR/><BR/>I ride my bicycle except in the depths of our horrible winter, and I'm a middle-aged woman. My car is an old black Raleigh Sprite. <BR/><BR/>I do dream of Paris, the problem is not transport - the Paris métro and buses are most reasonable in cost (except for those who have to live in faraway suburbs) - but the cost of housing. No, not as bad as London, but pretty steep. Who knows? I have a lot of friends there, but we're all past the age for prolonged couch surfing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-1160078475737327362006-10-05T22:01:00.001+02:002006-10-05T22:01:00.001+02:00Yes, I agree that this fact about Paris only makes...Yes, I agree that this fact about Paris only makes it more appealing.

My Paris dreams never include a car and when visiting in Paris and riding in the car of a friend I almost always wish I wasn't in the car...it's crazy!! Worse than New York!! In Paris one can always walk just a block or two to a wonderful cafe, or bakery or almost anything one needs, but here in SF many people have cars because things really aren't so accessible and they haven't got the "planning ahead" thing down!! C'est la vie!! Maybe I could live in a nice garage space? Find me a heated one!
