    Huh, in which city are you seeing this? The two examples given in the video are completely wrong. Paris tripled the parking cost for SUV’s and has removed tons of curb parking. Similar thing going on in Belgium.

      The neighborhood near us in Berlin changed to angled parking, narrowed the road, replaced lots of parking with trees over bike racks between every few parking spots, and lowered the speed limits. It’s making the area into a biking & walking comfort zone where it used to be a dangerous car hellscape.

      Giant SUVs, and heaven forbid US sized pickups, would stick out into the road and get hit/tickets for blocking the way. Removing cars makes a city a better place for people.
