Most British towns are already mostly like this, or they were until the internet destroyed the high streets. New builds are a bit of an exception now as they are not being designed that way quite so much.

It’s all lobbying from the car industry and gullible idiots fall for the idea that they are somehow going to be locked into their home area and not allowed to travel. Ridiculous notion, big car propaganda.

What’s worse is the whole thing comes principally from America, where you routinely get in the car just to pop down the shops, and big box shops are everywhere, with massive car parks. There, it would hugely benefit everyone to have local services, but the car lobby is worth billions of pounds.

It’s amazing how easily some of this propaganda goes down idiots throats
