I guess that the same number of cells also dies in the same period!

Honestly Milan is not really bike friendly (even if sloooowly getting better), that’s why we need this kind of demonstrations

Carabinieri are a police force that is under military hierarchy, but they are trained to operate in a civil context. They act and are equipped as a police force.

But the army mentioned in the news would be the one used to fight wars, with uniform and automatic weapons, not Carabienieri

Ok, I got your point

What I wanted to say, on the other hand, is that for one guy with an axe that ends up in the news, you have 100 guys that may act aggressively and/or violently. And as it is today, doctors and medical personnel has to deal with those too. A soldier would be even less suitable in those cases…

A soldier is trained to deal with enemies with at least an automatic rifle.

Policemen are instead trained to deal with crazies with axes, knives, rods… etc. and possibly neutrilize them without killing them. They should be able to try a negotiation even. What can a soldier with an automatic rifle already in his hand do? Shoot.

It’s easy:

• war, peace keeping -> army
• public order, criminals -> police

Using army for public order, why? Soldiers are trained to fight, not ti deal with problematic, probably unarmed people.

Just use the police. There used to be police posts at ERs, they were cut. We don’t need a new solution…

They grew after BMW bought the company, so most of that growth was after that, specifically 3rd Gen.

The point of the post is not much that cars grew, they have always been doing so.

The main point is that the growth in dimension happen, but manufacturers don’t want to highlight it, and in the ad the old and the new Minis look like they are roughly the same size.

I was genuinely surprised, because what you wrote was really different from what I experienced. But my experience i Munich is objectively limited. I somehow hoped that Germany, and Munich (along with other European cities) could be used as a model of how to do things right.

What drives me mad here is the absolute inaction

Exactly, and all this stuff about counting the cars is to try to move something. I have not much hope honestly, but excluding violence and vandalism, I think this is as much as someone can do

The city even responds to requests with the risk of damage to cars (!!) instead of considering humans.

This is completely crazy. In Milan they justify bad parking by saying things like “it has always been like this” or “yeah, but you can go around it” etc. FFS, do your job!!

I don’t know… I have been there twice in the last 4 years, and I went in many places (touristy and not, I was there for work, Just as examples: Truderinger Str. or Marsstraße are not so central) and never saw anything like that. For sure I didn’t see cars parked on the bus stop or on the zebra crossings.

But anyway, with a similar car density (but people density is almost double in Milan) I am not be surprised that the situation is comparable in both places.

So, well, you should organize and count them too! I think that such a status is unacceptable independently of where it happens 🙂

I have been in Munich… Not remotely comparable.

Did you see the pictures in the article below? They are not an exception. Cars are parked like this in all Milan, on all the streets.
