If you're looking to rent for the day, you would never pick 3 cars over 1. And if you already own the 3 cars, you wouldn't go out of your way to rent another one. I don't see how a parking charge would change this, unless it was far heavier than this proposal is.

Additionally, think about how many full 9-seat vans there are in Paris. Think about how many single-occupant SUVs there are. I think the benefit here is pretty clear.

Do you have a source for him moving to restrict sales? I see there was a House bill about that a couple weeks ago, but it didn't involve Biden.

I'm on android so maybe it's different, but I find it works consistently if I swipe in from the very leftmost edge of the screen.
