Green politician Belit Onay wants to make vehicles less attractive through higher parking fees. “The trend towards more and more larger and heavier cars continues,” he told the “Tagesspiegel” The background is a citizen survey in Paris on Sunday.

There, residents can decide whether parking fees in public parking spaces for heavy SUVs should be tripled. Just one hour of parking in the center would cost 18 euros instead of the usual six euros, and in the outskirts twelve euros.
