When I built my house, I made the garage 8000x6000 even though the architect, builders and council all said I should do 5000x5500 or something absurdly small.
That extra metre of width meant that I had shelving down both walls of the garage, and I didn’t need anywhere as much storage inside the house (space which costs more to build, heat and cool).
My neighbourhood is full of houses with little garages. Every single one of them is filled with shit and there is a car or two on the street. The backstreets are all half-duplex because of it.

Just burn the world and be done with it.

That is the fucking point. Holy shot these people have lost the plot. If your car is 2x the size of a normal car then that should mean you get 2x the pain. Not everybody else. Next thing they will require garages to each have enough space for a private jet…
Get a grip. Fuck I hate how dumb Australian politicians are. Gonna just move to the Netherlands one of these days

Everyone else does suffer the pain, though, because these people park on the street and effectively remove the left lane for several hundred metres at all times.

Jeez, wasn’t expecting a premier to say that crap. Not even a Liberal prem, although it’s not as if Labor inspires much faith either.

In some fields Malinauskus is more right wing than his Liberal party predecessor. Urban development is one of the big ones.
This is the premier who says “urban sprawl is not a dirty word”, totally killed the right to protest in South Australia and is dedicated to commercialising the parklands. But he did undo the insane privatisation of the rail system so he’s not totally blind to a good thing.
