Andong in your video was a surprise. Honestly, a great idea that makes a lot of sense. Though the auto industry would probably get a collective heart attack if anything like this was done.
As much as I approve that idea theoretically, it would lead to more centralization leading to even higher housing prices and additionally lead to remote areas to bleet out even more. Practically it wouldnt work so well in my opinion. But there has to be a substantial way to change Pendlerpauschale since the type of vehicle is not being taken into account. It should differ between cars, public transport and bicycle or walking. That's where some magic (change) could and should happen imho.
I think this is an interesting idea. You could basically make public transit free for those who don't have cars, or give a subsidy for shoe and bike purchases.
If the damage is 3k/year why not reward with at least that amount, since we are basically paying that now for those abusing the system and owning/using cars?
Right! But the 3,000 could also be charged to the car owners. The revenue could then be used to fund public transport and subsidize e-bikes (or non-e-bikes and shoes, döners, etc,). If we just give all the money to the car-free, we don't have extra money to build up public transport, for instance. So maybe a split: some money for public trans and some for the car-free?
@@cities4people If you have extra money in your pocket, you can afford higher fares. And even better than using public transport is using no transport, ie going on foot, bike, or staying in you own neighbourhood. With the extra money in your pocket, but with expensive travelling, you can afford to go to a more expensive corner store instead of a cheap supermarket in an ugly grey tin box on the edge of town, so your money supports a super local economy instead of busses and trams.

Great Idea. Why not inverting the Pendlerpauschale? :)
