The absurdity of the proposal is already in the title, and shows how motonormativity is spread all over the world.
Berlin has a very good public transit system, and a few 30 km/h zones cannot be that bad.
I would love to hear opinions from someone who lives there!

The fact that they have improved air quality is not sufficient reason? Do they think air quality is like painting a house, that it only has to be done every couple of years?
I am totaly with you on that. That fact that those zones did improve the air quality would be a reason for me to keep them.
So i guess you just want children to grow up with their lungs being coddled?
You want a whole generation to be weak?
I think you are missunderstanding me. I am totally for 30 km/h zones! What I said above is a official rule for where you can establish 30 km/h zones.
Is it a dumb rule: yes!
I think the OP was being facetious.
Clean air makes weak men. Asthma is strength.
Welcome to Germany, land of the pedantry-industrial complex.
I can’t speak to Germany specifically, but a lot of people don’t think very much at all. They feel things, and make up words to justify their feelings. (We all do this to some extent, but for some people it seems like that’s the only process running)
Right… and now they have magical eightballs that can justify with plausible sounding strings of words (LLMs) any feeling they might have.
We’re doing great as a species! /s
Alien 1: “The humans appear to be sacrificing their whole species for their god.”
Alien 2: “Which god? Yahweh? Abraham? Krishna?”
Alien 1: “No, it appears to be called ‘Money.’ Even their so-called atheists worship it, perhaps especially so.”
If you improve it too much, the lungs of the people will become weak.
They have a new conservative government in Berlin which wants to end “the war against cars” and rolls every progress back. They also remove bike lanes “because they cost parking spaces”
It doesn’t make sense, they are conservatives after all
I wonder why conservatives are so retarded, in each country.
