Unnecessary luxury. Absolute nonsense.
It depends doesnt it? My car is an unnecesary luxury. Good public transport in the area, trains serve the longer distance places I visit. I'm not mobility impaired. Half the time a bike ride is faster to get to where I need to be if its within London.
Edit: We do however have about 70 cars parked outside our 70 flat block.
It encourages and accelerates homeownership so that people don’t need to rent. Take the Netherlands as an example, 65% homeownership rates and 30% social housing stock which is subsidised. Cars are pretty much taxed to death which they should be as they’re an unnecessary luxury.
