Demise of the British Front Garden

Am I the only one to notice how the British Front Garden is slowly disappearing in a sea of paviers and cars.
It seems to be fashionable to trash all living things in your front garden and pave it over and plant vehicles all over it.The purchase of an S.U.V. (4x4) almost guarantees the trashing of a front garden.
Maybe they should be called 'Shogun'/Range Rover or BMW gardens.
The RHS and BBC Gardeners World might consider running a campaign to promote nicely planted,pretty, front gardens.
We go on about conservation but need to practice it as individuals not rely on others.
