I love minivans; It's SUVs and trucks as mom taxis that suck.

I'm also sadly in deeply ensnared in consumer culture. I love Costco. And Dollarama. Gimme a deal and I'm in heaven. That's my discount cross to bear.

Suburban sprawl is objectively selfish behaviour. Humans happily live in a fraction of the space we use but I keep hearing about how the tiniest bit of discomfort or annoyance is unavoidable, and a sacrifice that can't be made, regardless of cost.

It's sad. Be better!
