far easier sell to voters a ban on SUVs (a small minority of city dwellers) than on cars outright (a sizeable minority of city dwellers).

In Berlin, given public transport it would seem feasible to live without a car for the majority of people

Still ... Berlin is a very car-friendly city, with lots of parking space, large wide roads going on for long straight stretches. While the public transportation in Berlin is also great, as a foreign visitor, I like the fact that I can easily bring my car into all but the most central bits of Berlin. (And the Berlin metro-area is gigantic)
