Quite. An estate built near here about 30 years ago doesn't have anything

I used to continuously have arguments about this last decade when I was
involved in this stuff.
: The development's next to a bus stop, so there's no parking places.
Q But where will the residents put their cars?
: They'll be using the buses.
Q Yes, but where will they put their cars when they're using the buses?
: They're student flats, they'll be walking to university.
Q Yes, but where will they put the car that they've used to drive here
in September and will drive away at half term/end of term? Cars cost
thruppence happenny nowadays, Students Have Cars.
etc.
