I suspect it's a vicious cycle (excuse the pun!), people are used to car dominance so that's what they expect and thus what developers build. I do wonder what would happen if everyone across the country lived in Utrecht for a couple of weeks then came back here, there might be more demand for change then. On the bright side at least thse days a trip to certain parts of London would potentially be enough to change minds.

Oddly, I've noticed that wherever there is a car free development here, there's a waiting list to move in.

Germany truly is the land of milk and honey!

Germany truly is the land of milk and honey!

And Mercedes, and BMW, Audi, Maybach, Porsche, VW...

These tend to mitigate against there being more, or even enough car free places...
