Totally agree. Our household is happily car-less. I live within walking distance of every service you could think of and still the street is clogged with space consuming vehicles. Long term we need to talk about our unhealthy relationship with our transport options, but it’s a difficult conversation no politician interested in re-election is going to start. You’re completely right in saying we need to do something but I see some sizeable obstacles along the way.

Yes, some difficult conversation and we can't wait for some brave politician to do it. What do you see as the main obstacles? Are we facing inertia or active resistance?

In short, I think the obstacles are a combination of (1) bad habits (borderline addiction) of car ownership and (2) immediate needs over long term healthier choices. Thanks for opening the discussions.
