       I keep thinking back to this Microlino at Fully Charged Live.  Reusable water bottles became acceptable, being vegan is now cool, and so is wearing vintage clothes.  So who is going to step up to the critical task of making small cars  fashionable? The trend towards giant SUVs is ludicrous, incredibly wasteful and dangerous, and bad for our cities.  If you must use a car, it should be as small as possible. Where are the micro-car visionaries/influencers?  WE NEED YOU.  #cars #SUV #climate

       @helenczerski To be fair Nissan cut out it's early electric foothold with the Leaf - but both it, and the Mini have middle-age spread;  Original (1970's) size Mini's and 1st gen leaf's  would probably do what you want.

       @helenczerski I gotta repost @notjustbikes excellent video. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jN7mSXMruEoWhat must come hand in hand is infrastructure and regulations that are friendly for smaller vehicles. The large dangerous trucks should be heavily taxed to discourage their use, not get subsidies. This unfortunately isn't the case in many places of the world.When the majority of drivers choose to drive ridiculously large vehicles it also forces others to get larger ones just for their own safety. Even if they would otherwise drive smaller vehicles.It's sadly a terrible negative feedback loop. I could go on but it's already perfectly summarized in NJB video.#suv #cars #walkablecities #urbanplanning #waroncars #NotJustBikesAlso this haha: https://mstdn.social/@stux/110225670353018274

       That reminded me of a post I saw a while back. "*We've got no time, get in the pod.*"

       @helenczerski Japan has a simple, elegant solution: no free parking anywhere. There is no street parking in the whole country, and before you can buy a car, you have to get a certificate showing you actually have a place to park it at your home/apartment building. This incentivizes small cars because people want their parking space to take up as little area as possible, and discourages car use in general since you have to pay for parking everywhere you go.
