    In Europe we just fill the garage to the fucking ceiling and park the car outside. And of course nothing ever gets out of the garage until you die, then it's your kids problem and usually everything goes straight to a landfill.

      Oh, people already do that here too. The storage unit is the next bucket of overflow.

      There was a study done in Los Angeles and found that 80% of garages are used for storage with the car parked outside.

        Hopefully developers take notice then, maybe we can build new neighborhoods with the garage off to the side in an awkward position for the occasional boat haul. Then we can clear up the fronts of homes and replace it with something prettier.
