    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.

          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?

            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.

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

                  Motorcycles are charged less.

                  Human rights don’t apply to parking.

                  And I’d be interested if the Human Rights were ruling against oversized passengers on airlines being charged extra for taking up more space.

                    Now you’re just lying and being purposefully obtuse . Half the time the parking pricks fine bikers for sharing a spot.
