Housing developers constantly saying their developments will actually increase biodiversity because they’ll pop some trees in know for a fact those trees will be murdered for SUV parking within a few years.

It is also being pushed by both developments without adequate parking spaces (and no public transport alternative), and the fact your car insurance is cheaper if you answer "parked on driveway" instead of "parked in a public parking bay". I'm one of 3 houses left in my street with a front garden.

These houses already had double driveways and two garages. If you need six cars what are you doing.

Related to other issues, such as low income, no affordable housing, etc. My neighbors have 3 kids in their 20's. All still live at home. One with a girlfriend, one with wife and baby. They have 6 cars between them, and the dad has a company Navara too. Only way to get to work, 7 different locations

True, depending on how far you stretch "alternatives". Everyone can always walk or cycle, time and physical ability permitting. But for many, not very practical, especially if you live in the sticks. My nearest decent supermarket (i.e. one that actually sells vegetables) is 9 miles away.

Owning and paying to maintain a car just to go shops is the most expensive way to get food to your house. The supermarkets do that. Same for getting a fridge.

It was just an example. Didn't say anywhere that it was the only thing I have a car for... p.s. I've heard of that thing called a fridge. I only shop once a week.
