Paris Mayor: I want a city with less cars. Perhaps it's controversial, but I think I'm on the right side of history. I had lobbyists from car companies threaten me in my own office. (www.radiofrance.fr)

Also having a car-less approach to running a city is not exactly controversial in the year of our lord 2025.

Maybe in Europe, but in North America that'd be controversial. In some parts of the United States, that would be seen as treasonous. I wish I was kidding.
