Today in Rhein-Main: The air is getting better

Good evening,

good news: The limit values ​​for nitrogen oxide were observed in Hesse for the first time last year, so driving bans in Frankfurt, for example, are a long way off.

However, there is every indication that the quality of the air has only improved because fewer people are driving during the pandemic.

However, it is not certain whether the limit values ​​after Corona will be exceeded again.

Because older, more emitting vehicles are gradually being replaced by new, more environmentally friendly ones, so the pandemic has at least the positive consequence that it saves time.

Nevertheless, they should not hope that motorists will not be bullied.

With the previous caps on the fees charged for resident parking permits in major cities falling, city halls are getting sensual.

In Frankfurt, they are considering charging 120 euros a year instead of 50 in the future, and this amount has already been decided in Wiesbaden, where 23.50 euros were previously due there.

It is argued that this should contribute to the traffic turnaround.

What is certain, however, is that it will help the chamberlains.

After all, chamberlains obtain the money legally.

Other contemporaries choose different paths: the number of ATM demolitions is increasing, and the perpetrators are incredibly brutal.

The perpetrators often come from organized crime in the Netherlands.

In the crime statistics published by the Hessian Ministry of the Interior on Wednesday, this is just one aspect among several, and it is primarily about politically motivated crime.

It also increases from year to year.

No good news.

And Frankfurt will also be the official venue of the National Football League +++ the Frankfurter Volksbank is about to undergo another merger +++ a huge building area is to be built in Rüsselsheim.

I wish you a pleasant evening

Yours, Manfred Koehler
