Sunday question: What do you say about Berlin abolishing the 30 km/h speed limit because the air has improved thanks to the 30 km/h speed limit? (www.rbb24.de)

EDIT: changed article link and title to comply with rules (that I didn't read 😛). The article that is linked now, links to the previous one (this one https://www.rbb24.de/politik/beitrag/2025/06/senatsverwaltung-verkehr-berlin-tempo-30.htm), and the title is the google translated of the new article, as close as original German as I can

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!

If you're on a diet that will make you lose weight you can't stay on that diet when you want to keep your weight. Doesn't mean you have to go back to the diet that made you fat. This really is just very basic common sense.

Reality unfortunately rarely follows "basic common sence". And all the research shows that for most people in most cases restrictive diets only give temporary results.

Well get a diet that makes you stay on your target weight. Those fad diets will just not work, as you just regain the weight when you stop.

Diet also doesn't mean weight-losing. You can have a cheese-less diet (god forbid) for example.
