re: AP: Parisians vote to hit SUVs with eye-popping parking costs in latest green drive before

Great to see cities and residents doing more to get these comically large vehicles to pay more and hopefully stay out of city centers that are meant for people and not cars.

Okay? I promise to not drive into Paris in a large SUV.

And if it happens in Atlanta, guess what? I never go into Atlanta, either. If I do, it's for work, and they pay for parking.

People that have to drive in the city will probably just get ANOTHER vehicle, and keep the SUV that they probably need and enjoy.

All that to say, if voters don't care enough to get out and vote, this is on them. If this is what they wanted, that's fine by me. Urban residents can bitch and moan when restaurants close due to loss of business. They can whine when sports teams move to the burbs. The lack foresight to see how their emotional decisions impact others in the long run.
