I would love to see the purchase of SUVs and large pickups disincentivized at commuter cars. It’s awful that for so many years regulatory loopholes instead encouraged people to buy trucks as their commuter vehicles🥴

I'm on team "no more cars", but I don't think even something moderate like "limit cars to 90s/00s sizes" would be possible in the US short of a revolution/civil war, the culture and political system are just so fucked

One thing giving me a small amount of hope is that the new generation of car enthusiasts coming up seems to be into much smaller, less powerful “fun” cars as daily drivers. Part of this is affordability but part is also a rejection of the supersizing of US vehicles I think. Maybe change is afoot?

Could be, but even if the economics of SUVs are a losing battle I wouldn't be surprised if car companies just change the rules. Like the fossil industry vs wind
