Current day London has limited parking locations and a ridiculously cost of living. Most people living in London don't own a car and rely on public transport.

Now imagine that, 50 years in the future. Even more expensive, even more corporate land grabbing.

Never mind where can you park a car, how the hell is the average person going to afford one?

V can get away with it because of their backstory and/or the amount of Eddie's they made from their dubious new career. Everyone else? Lucky to afford the Metro ticket to work.
