The French capital's mayor hailed a 'clear choice of Parisians' in favor of a measure that is 'good for our health and good for the planet.'

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.

    “Punishable by fine” is just another way of saying “it’s legal if you can afford it.”

        Poor people aren’t driving SUVs around downtown Paris in the first place. I do not weep for nonexistent people.

        It’s actually incredible that you have people on fuck cars that are AGAINST raising the prices of car parking. Anything that’s done to make driving more expensive and less subsidized is anti-poor apparently. Literally indistinguishable from pro-car concern trolling.
