actually there’s a lot of cars in the places where cars are allowed but there are many blocks filled only with people
it’s nice here (ha ha how many times can i make that stupid joke)
our neighborhood is dense residential, mostly six-story or so. we’re in one of them, on the second floor. all the older buildings have shops on the ground floor, so there are bakeries, pâtissières, butchers, dentists, second-hand clothing shops, nail and hair salons, plumbing supply, basically everything.
