> Yet SUVs are selling better than ever. We are talking about european SUVs which by american standards are small cars. What to do? Expand cities, allow more housing because people don't want (but are forced by building codes) to live crammed in centuries old apartments, and they want the flexibility of a car that even works offroad (oh the luxury!). Why do we pretend that increasing the value of real estate is the only goal societies should have? People want to be happy. Emissions have become a convenient excuse to make life miserable. We have green technologies in cars and in housing to use, sustainability is no longer an excuse.
