minus-squareKbin_space_program ( Kbin_space_program@kbin.social ) linkfedilinkarrow-up5·edit-23 years agoI saw an article on how Paris is going to add a punitive tax on SUVs and other overszied cars. Seems like an (edit: legitimately) great idea. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/jul/11/paris-charge-suv-drivers-higher-parking-fees-tackle-auto-besity
minus-squareZorque ( Zorque@kbin.social ) linkfedilinkarrow-up4·3 years agoI wonder if it only pertains to households under a certain income level, kind of like their ban on shorthaul flights. Reading the article, its just higher parking fees. So yeah, just a poor people tax.

minus-squaremagnetosphere ( HappyMeatbag@beehaw.org ) linkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-23 years agoWow. It really does. If this actually happens, I’ll be delighted. Edit: I’d like this to go into effect throughout France, rather than just being limited to Paris. Also, I hope the term “auto-besity” catches on.
