MODERATORS
you generally don't take short trips by car in vienna.
most of what you would need is within walking distance, almost everywhere has excellent public transport, which is also mostly faster than taking a car anyway.
just isn't necessary to make people walk to their cars: if they're using their car, it's likely because they need to, not because they want to... public transport is just more convenient most of the time, because of the reduced parking options within the city! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yes. But Vienna was designed to reach that, by traffic planners like Hermann Knoflacher. The consensus is that for changes in motor traffic, both pull-factors (like better walking spaces and better public transport) as well as push-factors (making less efforts to make driving comfortable and subsidize it less) are needed.
I don't see how adding parking spaces would do either of those.
