Boulevard Parking (Kitchener)

[ijmorlan]

I’ve never understood how people could have a garage but not park in it, because it’s just filled with crap. I’d do anything for a garage to store my car in (we don’t have one, just an open driveway).

It’s interesting how common this is. It seems that the preferences people use to evaluate house buying decisions are different from their preferences as actual homeowners. If builders built according to how people use their space, I think there would be a lot more storage rooms and workshops, and fewer garages. But of course they try to build according to what sells and is legal to construct.

I think a similar observation applies to apartment balconies, which I suspect are mostly not used enough to justify their cost.
