You're right, we can't completely restructure our society overnight. Much better to just give up and do nothing.

I went OTT listing the systemic problems of housing as a way to put consumer choice into perspective, ie haraguing someone over train vs car is not going to stop the government's unstoppable subsidies for the motor industry nor change private developer's ability to build new homes in greenfield sites away from town centres.
In essence I don't disagree with you about it, and I am with you (train or cycle only, reduce motor journeys to minimum etc), but (apologies for the pop psychology) but 'consumer choices' are in general just carefully curated end nudges that have v little impact on the environmentally devastating but well established supply chains.

Yep all we need to do is reform land law ownership, change foreign investment regulations, alter the money markets so they aren't dependent on mortgages or financial instruments to create liquidity, reform law under home and second home ownership, reform building regulations, reform urban planning processes, redirect financing for council homes and then institute rent cap. So a quick and easy complete restructure of our society
