I’m just explaining why parents might opt for a larger car especially if they have multiple children. It used to be mini vans, now it’s SUVs or crossovers which are probably not much bigger than station wagons.

Also car seats are enormous and don’t fit well into compact cars unless the passenger side seat is all the way up and maybe not even then. Good luck if you have more than one kid that needs a car seat too.

I feel like plumbing and electrical work are things you should just pay professionals to do. The risk of things going very sideways is just too high for me.

They built a tunnel for the traffic which is a pretty typical strategy for these kinds of projects.
