things to learn from Paris #1

smart_car_parisParis is a dense city.  There is not much space here.   Streets are narrow and crammed with cars.

A typical parking space in Pittsburgh measures twenty feet long by eight and a half feet wide.   This smart car fits into a space just nine feet long.  I measured it.   Fill a city with tiny cars and there’ll be twice as many parking spaces.

    I was just in Amsterdam and experienced the same thing. Good luck trying to park anywhere!
