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!

I’m lost… Can you ELI5?
Wasn’t the word motonormativity from you? I had to re-read that word a few times to get what you were saying with it and it’s good.
sunzu2 called it a slur, and a good one at that.
I wish I was that clever, but no. It’s from a researcher named Ian Walker, coined in a very interesting article. It has its own Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motonormativity
Also mainstream articles: https://www.theverge.com/2023/1/31/23579510/car-brain-motornormativity-study-ian-walker
And a video by GCN! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_4GZnGl55c
I’m surprised that by being in the fuck cars community you never heard the term!
