Why would you begrudge a person earning a salary and owning a nice car just because they choose to live in a different type of accommodation to you? If you do choose to own or inhabit a building you must enter into the mortgage/rent/council tax set of responsibilities that come with it. Otherwise, you don't. Living in or owning a building is not a prerequisite of domicile in this country, or in any of the cities therein. If you work, you pay tax on those earnings, and if you own a car, it must be taxed. Otherwise you will be punished. You are not prohibited by law from living in a vehicle. Those are the rules, and are there to protect and benefit everyone, not just those of us lucky enough to own property. It is no different in the countryside, the rules apply there too.
