Comment on South Australia Government considers requiring developers to build bigger garages. The cost will be paid by home buyers. Whether they have a car or not.

I live in an area with a lot of new developments and this is definitely a planning problem that needs to be looked at. Many roads constantly have rows of cars parked along the side because none of the owners use their garage (either because their oversized car doesn’t fit or because the development is too tight to get in and out of comfortably).

If there are cars lining the streets, that’s a red flag to build a damn light rail instead.

When we moved in, we had a two car garage and three cars. (Actually a few project cars in the back yard, but they don’t count). The land developer did not permit three car garages

Now I have two adult nieces and one nieces boyfriend and their extra three cars. We also have one camper trailer that used to fit in the back yard, but someone installed a roof-top-tent on it and now doesn’t even fit in the garage.

Fortunately, I have two very accomodating neighbours.

We also have one neighbour who did drive a RAM 2500, but decided to downsize to a normal sized vehicle because they couldn’t get their vehicle out of the street because of all the P-Plater cars that were inconsiderately parked in the street.
