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?

I dont think OP realizes how disgustingly car-centric German culture is. They probably do, in fact, have parking garages
Am German, can confirm. Parking garages do indeed exist here. Germany is very car centric, but fortunately not as bad as the US. Our cities do also have mostly working public infrastructure that makes it possible for lots of people to get to the Christmas market and drink several mugs of mulled wine without the need for overly huge parking garages.
Last time I drank a bunch of mulled wine in Germany during Christmas, I went to the train station and found it was closed.
Its absurd that the trains dont run all night, especially on holidays where everyone is out drinking and trying to not drive or bike intoxicated
these people have not walked anywhere in their life have they?
The problem is that I have to live next to those people for the other 11 months
Living in large groups is literally one of the defining traits of our species though.
Like, about a hundred people? Okay. As long as my house is far away.
Literal millions of them? No thank you.
There’s a Christmas market about half that size in Denver. I’ve never been puzzled about how people get there.
No one is puzzled. This was a case of someone casually scrolling and commenting without critical thought. Which, let’s be honest, we are all guilty of that and the other guy taking the opportunity to dunk with an AmEriCa Am I rIgHt???
Saying “I want to know how they deal with parking”, assuming they have vast parking garages and a shrug emoji is what I interpreted as puzzled. If you’re not clear it’s a reference to access to public transportation.
I know. I was just saying that the American in the pic is only puzzled because they are mindlessly scrolling and posting on Twitter. When the time comes to go to an event like that they are also just as likely to take the train without much thought to it either
It’s true though that many Americans have never lived in a city with functional public transportation, so they don’t even consider it. I lived in a city with a decent light rail system and it wasn’t really reasonable because I would have had to walk 1.5 miles across hellish intersections (or taken an uber?) to even get to a train station, and I lived in a fairly urban area.
