1. Tourist framing vs local benefit
"This article has such a weird framing... Maybe because it’s CNN, an American outlet, they’re focused on the “tourist”, but these benefits have mostly accrued to Parisians." – hshdhdhj4444
"But tourists visiting Paris for a week don’t get the majority of the benefit from cleaner air." – hshdhdhj4444
2. SUV size worsens congestion and parking scarcity
"Just last night, I was parked perfectly ... still had to squeeze out with my door undoubtedly touching the SUV." – obsidianbases1
"The footprint of the car matters. When cars get 5 % longer, the same number of people in cars takes 5 % more roadway..." – kibwen
3. Larger vehicles cut traffic throughput and safety > "Throughput is directly proportional to the volume of cars, and SUVs have larger volume… people give taller vehicles more space." – kibwen
4. Push for cycling and public‑transit, with accessibility worries
"The new large cycling strips that appeared in the last 5‑6 years are so good… it’s miles better than being stuck in a car." – drnick1
"I would love to be on what amounts to a group ride to and from work safely." – philamonster
5. Political resistance and ideological framing
"Fuck cars. I'd rather have air to breathe and space to live." – frugalmail
