The absurdity of the proposal is already in the title, and shows how motonormativity is spread all over the world.
Berlin has a very good public transit system, and a few 30 km/h zones cannot be that bad.
I would love to hear opinions from someone who lives there!

In Berlin, only 3% of all registered cars are pure electric cars (numbers from 2024).
Speeds of 30 km/h lower the emissions of nitrogen oxide from cars with combustion engines. This happens because of significant reduction of pollutant-laden acceleration processes.
The reduction of emissions from such a speed limit is based on more uniform traffic flows.
