SUVs are a nuisance to city streets period beyond environmental impact. They take up lots of space and our dangerous to pedestrians and cyclists and people in smaller vehicles.

*That* is the negative externality that isn’t really discussed (or dealt with by government bodies).

We can talk about the climate some other time. But yes, you’re correct - everyone living in the modern world has comforts with negative environmental impact. There is no middle ground, either I go feral or I start killing Polar Bears.
