I think this is good practice from repair people: my motorbike mechanic would always keep the old parts when replacing them, to show me the status when I was taking the motorbike back. It's a sort of transparency move that I actually appreciate.

And moreover, the old part is still yours, so it makes sense to give it back to you, unless you explicitly say otherwise

You mean they don't repair the plastoc covers?

I guess that the same number of cells also dies in the same period!

I was genuinely surprised, because what you wrote was really different from what I experienced. But my experience i Munich is objectively limited. I somehow hoped that Germany, and Munich (along with other European cities) could be used as a model of how to do things right.

What drives me mad here is the absolute inaction

Exactly, and all this stuff about counting the cars is to try to move something. I have not much hope honestly, but excluding violence and vandalism, I think this is as much as someone can do

The city even responds to requests with the risk of damage to cars (!!) instead of considering humans.

This is completely crazy. In Milan they justify bad parking by saying things like "it has always been like this" or "yeah, but you can go around it" etc. FFS, do your job!!

Yes burning them all would have been much more satisfying.

But we needed to know how many matches we needed to buy 😈

I don't know... I have been there twice in the last 4 years, and I went in many places (touristy and not, I was there for work, Just as examples: Truderinger Str. or Marsstraße are not so central) and never saw anything like that. For sure I didn't see cars parked on the bus stop or on the zebra crossings.

But anyway, with a similar car density (but people density is almost double in Milan) I am not be surprised that the situation is comparable in both places.

So, well, you should organize and count them too! I think that such a status is unacceptable independently of where it happens 🙂

I have been in Munich... Not remotely comparable.

Did you see the pictures in the article below? They are not an exception. Cars are parked like this in all Milan, on all the streets.
