    A small car takes up just as many parking spaces (i.e., one) as a big car does (i.e., also one). If the problem is parking – and boy howdy, it is! – then the only solution is to show up in a not-car (e.g. riding a bike or on foot), not a small car.

        Man, I wish I could have a Jimny.

        Anyway, yeah, I know short cars are short. The trouble is that unmarked parallel parking is a tiny fraction of all parking, so the size of cars really doesn’t make much difference in terms of city-wide macro scale. (Unless you went all-in Japan-style and put them in their own separate category with kei-car-only parking spaces and such, anyway.)
