My original question was “How do we disincentivize the purchase of pickup trucks/SUVs” but then I thought it would be better to approach the larger problem of car dependency and car ownership. One option is, of course, to create public transit infrastructure and improve it where it already exist. This, however, doesn’t change the fact that some will still choose to drive. What would be the best ways to discourage people from owning personal cars?

      No-one who seriously considers the issue thinks all cars should be done away with.

      Cities designed for pedestrians can still be made to accommodate accessibility vehicles, and even more importantly, emergency vehicles.

        except there are a lot of people who don’t seriously consider the issue here (online in general).

      There are ebikes that don’t require pedaling, even some that are more like tiny cars with a roof and doors, etc.
