Fuck me it’s depressing. It’s not the angle the ABC chose to take the story, but the fact that we’re so willing to give over space to cars instead of…y’know…people is part of the problem here. There was a case in Brisbane a couple of years ago where a group wanting to provide affordable community housing (I think it was aimed at older single women IIRC, though not exclusively DV survivors) was literally unable to do so because the law required that they put aside more space for cars than would be able to make the project viable.
It’s just one of the many problems with car culture and motornormativity, and one of the many factors pushing up housing prices into unaffordability.
