Hi all!
We have local elections coming in Finland. Two of the parties have candidates whose whole campaign seems to be based on the demand that driving as freely as possible in Helsinki city centre has become too hard. They say the point of a city centre is that people should be able to drive there, park freely and for free. That way, there would be more customers in city centers and everybody would be happier there.
I have travelled a bit, but not extensively. If I remember correctly, driving is not that free in the centers of most European cities. Am I wrong? Or right? What's the situation like in your home towns, my fellow Europeans?
