It’s a way to demonstrate longer vehicles are nothing new, and still being driven besides. This is an urban planning failure being presented as otherwise.
I use, for my business, a 1986 GMC 3500. It’s two wheel drive, manual, rust free due to maintenance and every bit as long as these “bro dozers” but apparently I shouldn’t be able to park at my suppliers. I was previously using a 8900lb gvw 2500, but I feel like Chevrolet overstated the load rating back then to avoid emissions or something, if you actually try put the 1.5 tons claimed in, the suspension is no longer suspension.
Chevy Suburban has been produced and sold well since 1960. This isn’t a new dilemma, it’s clearly shitty planning and most likely being amplified by people who don’t own much of anything whining. I lived in that part of BC for 12 years, well familiar with how they’ll try make themselves feel better about themselves via creating scenarios where they are morally superior, not broke losers.
More like people being called out for blocking roads because there’s more of them. If you can’t park in a space, park somewhere else.
If parking is difficult as a result, buy a smaller car or accept you’re often going to walk further.
The average size of car has risen. That’s not automatically something we have to accommodate. The people who bought larger cars always used to live with the consequences and should continue to.
This from someone willfully ignoring these people pay their share of property and fuel.taxes that pay for all this, in many cases much more tax than people complaining
If they literally take up more space than everyone else, then they’re not paying their fair share unless we charge them more for parking.
It doesn’t matter how much you pay for other things. Smokers and drinkers pay more tax on a relative scale, they don’t get to take up more space on an airplane unless they buy another seat.

People are still driving land yachts from the 70’s?
No, they’re driving modern urban assault vehicles though.

Well yeah. They run well and are quite comfortable, easy to work on. Most problems can be solved in a day without years of training.
Urban planning for what is needed by the majority rather than demanded by the few.
Parking and roads in general are examples of induced demand.
Chances are whatever the size of the average parking space, people would buy cars too long or wide for them.

There’s the sanctimonious wankery I was looking for.
From someone defending big cars because some of them are old and doesn’t understand the simple problem is they’re becoming more common.
Look up “tragedy of the commons”
Do you not see how it applies?

Human rights commission says different, motorcycles aren’t charged less.
