While this is mostly about parking issues, the part that stood out most to me in this is:
A study published in the Journal of Safety Research last year found that children were eight times more likely to die when struck by an SUV than those struck by a passenger car.
Eight times! To me, that’s insane. Even if it were 50% that would be very bad, but this is 700% more!
I do not get the pickup truck in the city thing. People think that if a car dealer will sell you a car, it’s everyone else’s obligation to make sure you can drive it absolutely everywhere, at any time.
It’s so weird. None of these people carry stuff in it either. They’re just going to the office in their shiny huge car.
