Paris votes on SUVs: voters back proposal to triple parking fees for SUV drivers

The measure to make vehicles weighing 1.6 tons and over pay 3x the parking rates for the first two hours has passed in Paris.

Now, let's get that in place for London and many other other places to help slow, and even reverse, this trend towards massive personal vehicles.

  • And more straw manning. Props for working hard to twist what I say to fit the argument you want to argue against champ.

    • You have got to be American right? The right for one to drive their big-ass SUV downtown is not something the Parisian working-class is concerned about!

      Working-class Parisians are not buying and driving big-ass SUVs downtown anyways! No poor people are being harmed by this!

      • I'm not an American, but it's pretty funny how you now speak for the Parisian working class. And I've repeatedly explained to you in detail that my argument absolutely nothing to do with poor people being harmed by this. The fact that you keep framing it that way illustrates that you're either a troll or have incredibly poor reading comprehension.

        • So what's your argument then? You're against a tax on people publicly flaunting their wealth, because it will... prevent poor people from flaunting their wealth? Lmao? Wealth that poor people don't have?

          • I explained my argument repeatedly in this thread, if you still don't get it then I clearly won't be able to explain it to you. Either I have extremely poor communication skills or you understand what I'm saying perfectly well, and choose to ignore it and make transparent straw man to argue against. Either way, you can enjoy trolling somebody else. I'm done here.
