| So you get penalised for using a car and now penalised if you don't use your car. Car hit scheme cannot work as envisaged. Imaging if one street of say, 50 homes gets rid of all their cars? Yet at some time over a week someone will need to use their car or a car. It might be to go to work, or make a visit, or go to an event or attend a family member, go shopping, collect or drop off someone, move goods or work equipment - almost anything. But what happens when say just 20 of those residents all need a vehicle at the same time and for different purposes? I regularly use a Car Club van. It has now gone App only and is a nightmare to book. I have to book 2 to 3 weeks ahead. Last year it was just 4 to 5 days. It's now so far away for an available vehicle that I have to drive to the location or get someone else to come along to bring the car back home. It's no longer a practicable alternative because the demand exceeds the supply. So what happens when the demand exceeds the supply and you are not allowed to own your own vehicle that you can use when one needs it in whatever and whenever one needs it? There will end up being as many Car club cars and vans as there are private vehicles. The problem that Guy mentions is not too many cars ( there are far less per 1000 in Greater London than in 1979) It is overdensification developments cramming in 1000s of people and containing their range of mobility - thus limiting their means of a living. Happily waving through huge population increase in the full knowledge that there is no infrastructure to support anything other than a glossy brochure image of idealism. No parking is factored in to developments and even Bicycles are limited. So the solution? Shaft the existing residents. Drag them down to the restrictive lives of those crammed into boxes. Cllr. Dunns views are typical of an intellectual or scientific mind that cannot relate to any other way of daily life other than her own. Apps Deliveroo and sipping coffee. A blinkered lifestyle. The reality is people are very different, work differently and are not AI clones just yet. Although there are no plenty blinded by technology who are pretty much assimilated by their world of device led existence. |
