Oof. I feel you. I like cars and I hate when this happens.
I got another good example: I‘m in the market for a garden plot (I live in a city with no perspective on getting my own house soon).
There are waiting lists that are years if not decades long. All while gardens get sold/rented out behind the curtain and worst of all: abandoned ones rotting away or being used as scrap yards by companies (which should be illegal).
It just makes me so sad. We have so much stuff we could solve if you could just go to your local government rep and tell them to change this, state your reasons and watch it change.
