A growing faction of concerned citizens across America's suburbs are positioned on the front lines of the anti-Trump resistance. They're voters who are often wealthier and more educated than average Americans — and they historically tended to prefer Republicans. But now, on the eve of the 2026 midterm elections, many suburbanites are energized to fight President Donald Trump and his party. Suburbanites will be especially active at this weekend’s No Kings protests against Trump. Few areas illustrate the upside-down politics of the Trump era more than the nation’s suburbs, which may ultimately decide the balance of power in Washington for the president’s final two years in office.
Will the western #US really try anything better with such experiences? More #walk #bike #bus #train #YIMBY ? Or would it rather continue to drive gigantic new #oil-based #SUVs and be #NIMBY ?

Eine Gruppe #Kleinwagen feiert, dass in #Paris Besucher mit schweren #SUVs ab Oktober 2024 deutlich höhere #Parkgebühren zahlen müssen. Eine Stunde #Parken im #Stadtzentrum kostet 18 Euro, für sechs Stunden sind es 225 Euro. Betroffen sind schwere #Verbrenner-, Hybrid- und #Elektroautos. (Quelle: Standard)
SUVs kill more people than other vehicles
"Adults walking or cycling are 14% more likely to die in a collision when the car involved is an SUV; children are 77% more likely"

I live in fear that there will be a terrible/fatal accident in our neighbourhood due to permissive crossings, ever expanding #SUVs and no lollipop people.
I really hope that other cities pursue the kind of #traffic policies that #London has under #SadiqKhan.
