June 2022 --> February 2023. The kid has grown two inches. The trucks have grown even faster.
This is not fine.

Both photos were taken while the child was standing on a sidewalk.

@ellenor2000 @DrTCombs Yes, of sorts. Even now, the choice is lacking.
It's no longer an issue for me as we went #CarFree as a family last year. I have a #TUV, which stands for Tern Utility Vehicle 😉

If we need a car, we use a #CarShare program which means either a Prius hybrid or a Kia Rio, both of which are reasonable for fuel efficiency.
Best of all, we save around $200/month (CDN) not owning a vehicle! #GoCarFree
@DrTCombs Adding to the horror is that the red truck is on the sidewalk, and therefore elevated, but the black one is still higher
@DrTCombs I just don't understand how we allow this? When we first moved to Canada 15 years ago I was shocked at the size of vehicles over here, compared to those in Europe. I asked the car dealer what their most energy-efficient car was & they looked at me as if I was mad. I thought it would get better & I'd have more choice since it was obvious that transportation was impacting the climate. Instead it has got worse. #CarCult #CarBrain #ClimateActionNow #RoadSafety #VisionZero
