This is huge

The right-wing candidate who said "stop the war on cars" was defeated.

The leftist who said "My goal is to make sure Grégoire loses" was defeated

Having seen traffic in Paris, I'd say it's already anti-car.

    I think I read that the pro-car candidate in second place there was wanting to change that. Edit: Oh, or do you mean that there's still too much cars around that they all get stuck in traffic? Yeah I can imagine.

    not anti-car, but pro-humans.

    carbrainers like to shout that you need stroads everywhere and to kick kids from bikes

    but, if you want fewer traffic jams, a calmer driving experience, you NEED high-quality public transit, separated bicycle lanes, etc. everywhere.
