No one park outside my house, it's for my car!

I thought Cardiffs housing stock was Victorian mostly and inter War?

I think most "inner" Cardiff is as you say, but I think the vast majority of satellite estates are 60s or later.
My area was built in the 80s, and most have a garage and short drive. Most households don't use the garage, some have converted them to extra rooms and leave cars on drives. But there's no room for street parking, and the roads are not wide enough to park on both sides so there's loads of pavement parking.
There's been some newer houses built in the last ten years, costing a fortune, and still developers think along the lines of one car per house, no visitors.
