We want you to go outside and count the number of SUVs on your block, as well as the number of regular cars. This is our experiment in “crowdsourcing,” where we employ you, the listener, in an act of journalism. We’re trying to find out just how much gas-guzzling SUV use there is throughout the New York area, with all the talk of environmental sustainability in the city. We’re giving you until next Thursday to do the counting, but please, just count the cars once. Most trucks and minivans are not SUVs, so we're trusting your judgment. Also, please count the cars on both sides of the block (i.e. the section of your street between intersecting roads).
Post your results in the comment section below and we’ll analyze the results Thursday, August 2. The count ends at 1 pm Wednesday, Aug 1st!
Wired Magazine writer Jeff Howe explains the idea on the air.
Please post 1) your neighborhood, 2) your block (street and cross street) 3) the number of SUVs parked 4) the total number of cars parked
NOTE: While we ordinarily encourage comments of any kind, we would like to keep this page limited to the findings about SUVs. We will take other comments when we discuss this next week. Thanks!

I have always been aware of the high numbers of SUVs cruising around Harlem since living here for 2 years. It have always noticed young men driving these GIANT cars either alone or with 1 or 2 other people, bass thumping. It seems more like a style thing than a neccessity, say to transport large families!
It bugs me!!!

Residential blocks unsurveyable (cars in garages)
Suspect many of the residential surveys reported in dense areas will be have defects due to those who can afford the SUV's, can afford a garage.
It is a shame you didn't:
1. Set up the "blank comment form" as a data entry form.
2. request zip codes as it would ease some analysis work; too many responses from a given area, etc.
My personal reason for submitting my survey is that all spots are angled parking where SUV's block the views of regular cars trying to exit their spots (very dangerous) I consider the SUV's and related to be a primary cause of many accidents just because of their size (let alone my thoughts on the inability of the drivers to act in a reasonable safe manner).
All day long there are delivery trucks either parked or double parked some keep idling. This morning I only counted 3 SUVs and 1 idling truck but other mornings I've seen 3 idling diesel trucks.

I wonder, do old vans have a similar function for the poor as SUVs have for the better off?

As of 11:17PM Wed.1 August 2007:
Vehical count on my block = 3 large delivery trucks, one w. engine running & driver asleep in front seat; 3 Verizon trucks (their bldng. is on this block); 2 tour busses; 7 or 8 town cars, 3 neighbors' cars; 17 vans/SUVs; 4 large pick=up trucks and two small of same.
By two or three o'clock this afternoon, the entire block will be full on both sides of the street, mostly with town cars taking lunch & waiting for the later business pick ups in midtown. Tour busses on the weekends take their place.
Though things slow down every summer in this part of town, traffic wise, the density of vehicular movement & stasis, combined with a more dense pedestrian traffic pattern causes alot of potential (and real) headaches! It's really kind of awful.
A PS to my SUV count comment. Often people who live an easy walk from the track/park will drive to it, have their outdoor fun, then drive back to their home.

It's quite appalling!
I got myself a wonderful little 1989 Ford Escort station wagon stick shift off Craig's list for $1,200. It only had 50,000 miles on it and it is just terrific! I worked out that this little cheapy car does on average, highway and city, 37 miles to the gallon! When I go downhill I put it in neutral and coast. It is totally reliable and I can sleep in it too! And what's more, all the usual electrical gadgets like radio masts and door locks are all mechanical, so Nothing ever goes wrong with it. Who gives a darn about status or power of acceleration. All I want is reliability, good gas mileage and to get from A to B.

I propose an immediate ban on all vehicles run on fossil burning fuels, (especially suv's!) in NYC to protect the health of our citizens. As a bicyclist, I feel especially outraged and damaged by the huge number of suv's emissions I am forced to inhale every day as I ride to work. Breathing, I should think, would be considered a fundamental aspect of my constitional right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

As a bicyclist, I feel especially outraged and damaged by the huge number of suv's emissions I am forced to inhale every day as I ride to work. My lungs hurt! Breathing is our most fundamental human requirement and right. Every day, I am denied that fundamental right to breath, which I should think would be considered a crucial part of my constitional right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. All vehicles run on fossil burning fuels must be banned, NOW! Some of our buses and city vehicles are now run on electricity. Why not all? We the people must rise up and prevail over the insane handful of greedy rich who still profit from oil (and oil wars!) We must rise up and take back our AIR!

A clarification on my post, #94--I thought the term "total cars" is ambiguous. I interpreted that to mean one number for SUV's and another number for non-SUV's, so my "total vehicles" would be the number of cars that I posted PLUS the number of SUV's that I posted.
Thanks for doing this. I was astounded a few years ago to finally notice all the SUV's on the Upper West Side. It's ridiculous.

It would be unfair to suddenly start to ostracize SUV's since for the last 15 years or so it has been pushed out as a status symbol with who can have the biggest vehicle.
One may notice that when makes the economic cut they tend to go buy a Landrover or Hummer to proclaim a status.

It seems like asking to count SUV's, that you know how much the company made and how many are on car sale!! One, car could in a block, while change in a minute counting on another block!! The thing is the extra height x lenght + weights & volumezs the vehicle is carrying, back & forth!? If the space ship flying saucers aren't fussing about their craft, Why must we!? Can't you fasten a tracking device in/on them to find out their parrogatives!? We can design thinner as we make us thinner & change!! Put a little lift on the Vehicles!! Remmember me: Marcel Etienne

Great idea BUT you are likely to get meaningless data as many people are unsure of what vehicles are really "SUVs." For example, "mini-SUVs" like the Honda CRV, PT Cruiser, and Toyota RAV4 may look like SUVs but have 4 cylinder engines and are small on the outside (a PT Cruiser is smaller than a Honda Accord). All of these vehicles get 27+MPG vs 13-18 for the real SUVs you are targeting.
Bad data is worse than no data. For any kind of accuracy, you need to also collect the model of the vehicle and remove the 4 cylinder non-SUVs from the mix.
Sorry to rain on the parade...I love the crowdsourcing initiative, but please do it right.
Regards,
--The BL Show responds:
Thanks for your criticism. We'll talk about the merit of the data on the show when we discuss the findings on Thursday. We believe there will be a value to the reporting of SUV prevalence throughout the area, even if there are shades of gray to the SUV definition.
14 cars
1 suv

Should pickups and minivans be counted as SUV's?
I am not sure how "correct" or authentically metro my count will be as I live in a suburb of NYC on Long Island. We also have a no cars on the street law after 2 am; and, many people park their vehicles in their driveways--even during the day. Today there seemed to be a number of "foreign" SUVs on the block (I counted 4); I think a realtor was showing a house. Of the 30 cars garaged or "drivewayed" on my block, 14 are SUVs. Thanks for the opportunity to sound off. Besides the gas consumption threat, I find SUVs a hazard on suburban streets, you can't see around, past, or beside them. Many are huge and, I believe, because most are built on a truck chassis, should not be permitted on parkways. Try enforcing that on the Southern State or Cross Island, the highways I drive every day. Now even pickups with covered beds are on parkways--many open pick-ups are too!
Did it ever occur to any of you that maybe the reason that people drive SUV's instead of small, less gas consuming cars is that they want to have a little more safety and carting capability. Have any of you pro-mini car people had a truck bumper come through your side window. There are many reasons for the solutions people come up with in life. There is not one reason that people buy a car, suv, truck or whatever. There are many.

Probably skewed by a large construction project on the block.
Along with counting SUVs parked on the street, what about people who park their cars in area garages attached to apartment buildings. I've noticed quite a few SUVs when friends of mine visit and park in my neighborhood garage. You might want to ask garage workers to count the number of SUVs among their monthly or permanent residents. This would be in garages attached to apartment buildings, not public parking garages where cars would most likely be from out of NYC.

This is an affluent suburb but one might expect to find environmental concern among people who do yoga and buy organic foods. Parked outside my yoga studio in Bedford Hills last week I counted 12 cars, of which were 6 SUVs (two huge Acuras). Yesterday, in my local Whole Foods indoor garage, I checked out the first 3 rows, about 40 vehicles, of which 29 were SUVs, mostly huge,truck sized. I once found a Hummer parked next to my compact Honda completely dwarfing it! It seems to be an infectuous disease. Perhaps people believe these vehicles (they can't be considered cars) are safer. Or maybe people with lots of money simply enjoy spending every way they can.
I spend several months each year in France, close to Geneva, Switzerland and have seen an explosion of SUVs with Swiss license plates in the past 5 years. Parking garages designated spaces, designed for normal or compact cars, can hardly contain them. This, despite gas prices which are about three times as high as in the U.S.

Maplewood is 35 minutes from Penn Station on the Mid-Town Direct and a fairly cosmopolitan community. I live 'in the village'. I counted my block + the short block forming an 'L' with mine and a parking lot accross the street from me accomdating about 40 cars. My Block: 15 cars; 5 SUVs; Maplewood Ave. 'L': 12 cars; 11 SUVs (all parking spaces taken); Parking lot: 38 cars; 10 SUVs. In this area (Essex County) Millburn and Livingston are the 'SUV capitols'. And my solution to the Mayor's city driving problem is - no SUVs and no non-commercial 'trucks'. I drive a beetle & ride my bike. Mmany thanks for this, Brian. I hope that this and maybe other initiatives will take away my rather alarming 'Luddite' fantasies re: SUVs especially those which their owners just love to refer to them as "Trucks" as in,"My Truck!"

You can look at the SUV invasion two ways: their impact on the environment and the city’s infrastructure, or on the parking situation.
Everyone knows that SUV’s are gas-guzzlers, but do they realize that because of their extra weight they tear up the city’s streets and highways at a faster rate than lighter cars?
From the point of view of parking, it’s more complicated. Over the years many SUV’s have become more compact so that now some of them are shorter than the tradtional family sedan or station wagon. It’s a little harder for me to hate them than my neighbor’s big old station wagon that seems as long as a bus and probably gets 15 mpg.
Total cars: 33
SUVs (and mini-vans): 11
I was surprised to see a full third of cars on my block were SUVs -- and several BIG one's. They guzzle gas and are hard to find parking spaces for ... I don't get it.

Are we counting SUV's/Crossovers/Mini vans with New York plates only? Most SUV's 'invade' the city from Long Island and Jersey, I propose a count after dark. Then you'll see the real deal.

I went out to count this morning but quickly found it difficult to define exactly what you mean by "SUV". Do you want us to include mini-vans? What about the smaller "crossover" vehicles such as the newer Subaru wagons and BMW "SUVs". What about jeeps? I saw all of these in my count.
I supposed you were aiming to make a comment about fuel mileage and therefore want us to include all of the vehicle types mentioned above.
On the other hand, my own definition of an "SUV" is any vehicle (not including trucks) I can't see over when it is in front of me in traffic.
What are you looking for?
Thank you.
Chris
i'll have to check when i get home.
what about a special mention for hummers.
also in my part of williamsburg I've noticed a lot of out of state plates. I think insurance fraud is the reason.

How far does "New York" extend? If I make a count in my neighborhood, 30 miles west of Manhattan, I may find it difficult to find a non-SUV outside of my own driveway.

Heard this request while playing the alternate side of the street parking game
Does block mean 1) both sides of the street in front of the door to my building and nothing more, 2) just my side of the street on the square block on which I live or 3) both sides of the street on the square block on which I live?
--The BL Show response:
The answer is 1) both sides of the street in front of the door to your house or building and nothing more. Thanks for the opportunity to clarify.
