      heh, a lot of things that should be completely uncontroversial are controversial unfortunately 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

    Does someone know how realistic this all is? Will they be able to actually get 170000 votes, or will they peak at a lower number?

    Here’s hoping that this gets implemented, I’d love to see something similar in my city eventually

          Thank you for the explanation. This is what I thought as well, even though the article felt hopeful, oh well… It would be great if one large European city would lead by example, I’m sure it would make passing these kind of laws much easier.
