  • I can only speak to the Am*rikkkan version of this behavior, but it sounds similar. I could write paragraphs on this, but the most interesting thing I've noticed recently is that as the empire has crumbled, the only kind of new residential construction being built is multi-family buildings: condos, townhomes, etc. even out in the boonies/exurbs.

    Car culture is still pervasive of course, so all these properties still have as many garages and parking spaces as possible, which is not enough to support parking for everyone who needs a car. Not having a car in these places means that you're effectively stranded.

    People are now willing to sacrifice on everything that the suburbs used to afford (your own detached house, your own yard) just so they can keep driving their stupid cars, and then complain when the car is too expensive.

    "The real estate at the volcano's edge is so cheap, how could I afford to live anywhere else?"
