When she is done in Paris can she pleeeeaaase come to Berlin?
Or do the same stuff on an EU-wide level? I bet there are a lot of other cities that could use her kind of changes.
Problem is, that cities are politically gerry-mandered into entitities with SFH developed areas and countrysides. That’s why we don’t see urbanism as the powerful political force that it could and should be.
Don’t the SUVs in Berlin get stolen within a couple of days anyway?
Edit: my brother who lives in Berlin got himself an SUV (Kia Sportage) and whenever he found a parking spot near his home, he’d leave it there for weeks because he was so happy to park near home. His car got stolen. Now he takes the U-Bahn to work and he’s actually happier than before. He got his money back for the stolen car, so there’s that.
Well send her with great pleasure, wherever you want and don’t feel as you need to ship her back. Just ensure that for once she pushes for policies that aren’t just intended to punish the people who live outside of her city while she maintains the status quo for her people and lets them do whatever they want.
This is smart
“The move will not apply to Paris residents’ parking.” 🤡
Great. Extend the measure to all of the EU.
Yes, they are U Huge, usually occupies a lot more space, weigh more, are worse for the environment, the roads, pretty much everything and are a sigh how wasteful and oblivious of its impact the humanity became
Good for them, fuck large cars. They are child killers.
They allowed the US SUV and pickup fashion to swap over to Europe (20 years ago there was little to none of those on European roads) so that when people are buying them, they get punished for doing so!? My point is, why the majority is acting like it is only the ordinary people’s fault?

Because it is. The market produces what consumers buy.
If nobody buys SUVs, nobody produces SUVs. It’s 100% on the consumer in the EU, there’s enough other cars available.
Partly correct …market produces what consumers buy but here was no such things like SUVs and pickups so they needed to introduce them so ppl can buy. It’s basically marketing 1st. Marketing has a huge influence
If you buy a more expensive car that just consumes a lot more fuel and space without any benefit you shouldn’t complain about paying more or policy measures to minimise that
In that case you pay much higher taxes already …at least in my country
Define “Much higher”
A lot higher, double, triple or ever more. Depends on the CO2 emissions of the particular vehicle so bigger engine, more power, more weight, less aerodynamics, higher consumption means higher taxes. This is of course for combustion vehicles …don’t know about the EVs, never owned one
“If you buy a more expensive car …”
Oh and by the way, the vehicles price has nothing to do with emissions and so on.
SUVs are usually more expensive than a car the same size in a non-SUV-Version.
The SUV Version of a vehicle of the same size is usually more expensive.
Just curious, from which country are you from. And what’s the average price for vehicle tax?
I’m from Romania but I actually have business in Germany so I’m resident in both countries. It’s pretty much the same for both, just a bit lower for RO. For example a 1.2L vehicle with about 80hp is something like ~90€ but a 2L vehicle with 300hp will be ~250€ and a 4L vehicle with 600hp will cost ~620€ so it’s ramping up a lot.
Of course you are right, an SUV is usually more expensive. I don’t care to much about SUVs because I don’t like them, I don’t like the looks.
There is no fault. No punishment. Just choices. And other people’s choices.
Of course that was meant figuratively, I thought that was clear
