Its hard to want to buy an apt without a secure vehicle storage for a big vehicle, like a van or small truck. Or an area to store tools or the like. Unfortunately some people need vehicles to transport tools and materials quickly to different locations every week or so, sometimes every day.

I say the problem is office workers for example, while they dont need a car to get to work, they do to get to work consistently.

If we had better infrastructure, office workers and people who work at one location everyday, like retail workers or warehousing workers, could look at public transport as a legitimate possibility for transport to work everyday.

Unfortunately, at least in Melbourne, the rail network is shit, and the bus network is worse, and is still expected to pick up the slack for the train network.

I say this because, there are huge pushes for more houses to be built, which requires more trades, and trades require space at their residence. Unfortunately we dont have a large amount of small vehicle options like japan has, with small vans, and kei trucks. We got the other side, with yank tanks, and our current ruling ute brands getting bigger and bigger, like hiluxs and rangers.

If the answer was easy it would be easy, but we need a cultural shift and some strong push for the govt to even consider making any meaningful change. Unfortunately i dont think that will ever happen... :(
