>Still quietly hoping for solutions through regulation here in Europe, to severely limit the number of large cars (either requiring a special license like for busses, or through taxes based on their impact of weight on road maintenance and size on parking requirements). But I don't really see it happening.
Cars in Europe are not that big, already limited to 3500kg.
If you put a limit at say 1000 kg that means that driving a delivery van, your plumber, small scale public transport, driving around a cleaning crew will all require a "special" license. In practice this special license will just become the default license.
I dislike SUVs but the kind of things we drive in Europe aren't like American SUVs, most are the size and weight of a Golf or a Polo with 10 cm extra height.
