Driving in cities is mainly for those too poor to live a decent distance from anything.
Though of course you do get some people of every wealth level who like living in the countryside despite the inconvenience (or because of it for some of those weirdos).

I just can't see any redeeming qualities in this model of city design at all. Its just thoroughly unpleasant.

Lol, don't ever go to North America.

Driving is a base mechanical art, no gentleman would ever drive  :bowler:

Outside of NYC, if you don't own a car you're proletarian scum.

Nyet. Car owners are the proletarians. Not driving is a sign of being middle class.

So, buying expensive machinery is a sign of poverty?  :hmm:

I was talking about North America, as was made clear in my previous comment. Outside of NYC you can't possibly be considered middle class if you don't own a car. Hell, a family with two adults would be required to have two.

Cars are really cheap, only £10k or so for a new one that'll last ten or twenty years ........now family holidays, they are bloody expensive  :P

They're more expensive if you actually drive them, then you have to pay for gas and repairs as well.

Course even 10000 pounds is roughly a year's salary to somebody earning minimum wage.

That doesn't make any sense.

I don't think that's true. NYC isn't the only city of ours that has neighborhoods where having a car is unnecessary.

The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.
