They could do nothing instead, but they have no power to reduce vehicle sizes.

Whike this is true they could loudly advocate the national government to change the laws and ban shitty US sized utes. They could also shout loudly about making those small Japanese trucks easy and tax free…

This also doesn’t address the problem, where it is an issue aren’t going to rebuild, not for decades anyway.

How is this not already a thing? The pavement is not the street, don’t put your personal vehicle on it I mean is it that difficult?

In Australia it’s illeage to park on the sidewalk (pavemnt) everywhere afaik(?) people do it anyway and enforcement is lax becase the outrage from car owners when it does occur occasionally means abuse to local govenerment who enforce these things.

I remember one article, some family had 7 cars (three adult kids, m other and father) and the entitlment was based around “where elese are we supposed to park our cars!”

We lived in a large medium density apartment complex for a number if years and there where forever people parked over the sidewalk on my walk to the shops and to be fair the local goverment did ticket them occasioanly.

On the plus side, we easily lived car free and rented our two assigned parks out to thirsty car owners ($80 each oer week) those fees covering our outgoings, so that was great :)

That’s interesting, I had “assuned” a way higher percentage of European users (am Australian)

Thanks for that

I find it good too vent at arseholes who drive. They hold all the power, we’re not punching down here by making fun of, or laughing at them and it can be a relief valve to vent at their choices both directly and indirectly that enable the car centric shit show to.continue. I wouldn’t go into /c/cars and expect angst against cars and drivers but /c/fuckcars ? Yeah… it’s in the name
