What a terrible article headline. Had to scroll through three paragraphs before it finally got to the damn point. Alternative headline: “Paris enforces higher parking fees for oversized vehicles”

We're still very far from US sized cars.

It's mostly to remove the vehicles responsible for the most emissions.

I mean, parking with a big car would be more of a nightmare than it is already in small-sized europe.

This should be an easy fix for France (or any country). Don't make dumb laws.

Dumb laws or laws smartly written by the automobile industry themselves?

Oh no, how would small dick rich parisians even compensate with that law in place?!
