They probably assumed this is like a theme park or something and not an actual city that people actually live in year round. Cities having nice, people friendly places away from cars? Who’s ever heard of that?

    Also a good thing because I know nobody who can leave a “Christkindlmarkt” sober. Those things are basically a huge mulled wine festival and it’s great, but don’t want anyone driving home from these.
