    The Channel Islands are a truly strange backwater.

    That means at least half the people who live in those properties won’t be able to own a motor car and I think it’s a basic thing that people expect particularly living in town.

    Emphasis added.

    Absolute carbrain. What the fuck is the matter with people.

        But why only one spot per household? Where are the two other cars going to be parked?

    Well, I was going to joke about “a chicken in every pot, a parking spot for every home”

    But it turns out that that is basically what the original slogan was about completed with “…and a car in every backyard, to boot.“ Conflating progress and prosperity with car-centrism and businesss interests… turns out it’s been there the whole time.

    Has nobody shown the government of Jersey any Strong Towns or City Beautiful videos explaining the damage done by parking minimums?

    The title came pre-editorialized by OP of the thread I cross-posted from, LOL. I love to see folks outside of urbanist spaces starting to get it.

      Is Jersey British? I suspect it’s controversial.

        It’s something the Normans hung onto when they took over Britain.
