    Fuck SUVs, but I don’t really like the idea that something you already own outright can be regulated to the point where it’s highly inconvenient or impossible to use. I.e someone (albeit an idiot) uses their SUV to get to and from work, whose employer does not pay for or supply parking, now has to either pay 3x more for parking or sell their SUV (which will probably come at a huge loss with everyone else selling their SUV for the same reason).

      If we couldn’t do that, it’d be pretty difficult to ever back down from a bad policy decision, which isn’t exactly great either.

      If it weren’t already unethical and obnoxious to drive an SUV in Paris, I’d agree that it should be phased in. As it is, however…

      Dude have you ever been to Paris? Have you seen how the people live? What is that tower of ignorance that you’re speaking from? Anyone who drives an SUV in Paris likely doesn’t have a real, traditional job at all. The costs associated with owning a large vehicle there are absolutely insane, starting from gas, taxes, and parking costs, ending with literally not being able to go into some streets if your vehicle is too large. It won’t be a problem for these moneybags, don’t speak for them.

      It’s not like it would be impossible to sell. Yeah maybe not to Paris people but it is possible. Yeah is a burden… But tbh most didn’t need a SUV in Paris…for the off chance they went somewhere else were it makes sense…once for twice.
