This is the correct solution: Don't cater to anti-social consumer choices, but tow religiously.

I've seen pickups in France parked with their backs on the grass because they don't fit. Some park diagonally over two spots to fit, and that's an improvement over just taking four spots.

Although it would be fun to see their reaction if there would be designated spots for "big-boned vehicles" on the far end of the lot.

Only rich people are driving SUVs in London regularly.

It's not a perfect plan, but it puts a stigma on the entire thing. And also this might put people that can afford it in a place where they at least think about what they're doing.

I'm not too bad off, but also I'm trying not to be an asshole about it. So I have a small, electric hatchback for my daily driving and a large, gas guzzling offroader for when I go and work in my forest, pull a trailer to lug stuff around or, to be honest, for a nice, top open weekend drive with my dog in the mountains. And back when I was living in the city, I had an electric cargo bike and those two others mostly sat in storage. Coming from a very rural area, my friends telling me that some behaviours are just shit when living close by with others was, what got me thinking in the first place. If a fee can trigger that, its not a bad idea.

With growing older, I've come to accept grey solutions that sort of work over kicking out not-absolutely-perfect solutions until they are absolutely perfect. And with playing a lot of Kerbal Space Program, I've come to accept that putting a little effort and delta-V into something and then waiting for a while is often a lot easier, or, possible at all, than trying to fix everything immediately with a breakerbar.

I guess at least it's something.

@Marsupial at least they won't be that widespread for the time being.
