Only non-Parisians? :(

The article is wrong. Paris is divided in 20 districts (arrondissements), and the new fee applies to cars parked outside of their home district, as well as non-Parisians.

Well, it would not be fun if people suddenly voted against themselves just to do the right thing for everyone.
