You do a great job of covering multiple angles Gayle. I’m very impressed. And I think you already know where I stand on how cars have ruined our neighbourhoods.

We have a good tree canopy in our backyard. The shade is great and we wouldn’t want it any other way despite the lack of sunlight to grow veggies, or having to pick up seedpods and fallen branches, or the landlord having to spend money on trimming and plumbing. I know someone who had to spend a few tens of thousands $, on his trees after the cyclone and unreasonable neighbours all came together.

There’s a sacrifice, yes, and you’re right to imply we might benefit from a review of our priorities.

Thanks Steve. Yes I've noticed your view on cars ruining neighbourhoods. I don't think many people realise just how many things that the widespread use of cars affects.
