I live on a hill will top only access, rather than put the crossing at the top (the bobble type for blind) thay put it 2 car spaces below where it should go, so 3 cars don't have the ability to park outside their house.

If you need a car because you're disabled or elderly then of course you'd need to be exempt.
The problem is too many cars and poor public transport, and many that are too lazy to walk anywhere. We're getting like the obese US population but we don't have the space for all the cars. How about doubling car tax for every extra car per house? No politician is brave enough to grasp this one but something radical needs to happen to curb the number of cars. It'll self defeating in the end for the climate, or being able to get anywhere through the congestion.
