minus-squareKbin_space_program@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up5·edit-21 year 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@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up4·1 year 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 @beehaw.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-21 year 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.
