I'm the blocked out poster in this.

You keep assuming that the living space is ~1500sq/ft for some reason; the houses I am talking about that are like this are not even half that size, but have 2 or even 3 car garages attached to them. Most of these are living quarters for field workers on the dairies and not even built to code.

Imagine a single 10x10 bedroom that has a kitchenette in it, and a room big enough to fit a shower, toilet and sink, attached to a 2 or sometimes even 3 car garage bay. That's what I see around here.

I don't know the full context of this conversation, but is it normal for homes to have large garages? I live in a 620 sq foot house (way too small, I have only one kid), and no garage. I wouldn't even want a garage, I have a driveway? Some of my neighbors have garages but they are not that large, they certainly don't make up 50% of their space, but some of them 1/3rd, if their house is smaller. Most houses in my neighborhood are bigger than my house but not huge.

Depends where you live; large garages can be normal. Obviously not 60% of the space, but garages can seriously help protect vehicles and you from the elements. They're great if you have severe winters, frequent rain, strong sunshine, and are now helpful for electric car charging.

That's a good point, we do have hail and tornados where I live. But I guess growing up poor we just accepted damage to vehicles. Not that I'm saying it's ideal, just that I hadn't really considered it an avoidable part of life.

[-] cosmic_skillet@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Don't forget it helps deter thieves as well. Smash and grabs, catalytic converter thefts, etc. Also if you have other vehicles like bicycles/motorcycles then you'll definitely want them inside a garage vs outside where they're visible and more vulnerable.

same as i have commented in another orange app, people aren't supposed to make sense, so one should spare oneself the frustartion

[-] pinkdrunkenelephants@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 year ago

But I thought downvotes didn't matter. 🤷

I thought you guys said they're both a necessary tool for community regulation and completely irrelevant to normal conversation on Lemmy.

Yet here we are.

Fuckcars is just a cult anyway, they go REEEE at any suggestion that cars are a necessity for many people, and that no busses nor bikes will ever compensate for it.

I don't think they live in the same reality I do, or maybe they've never seen Texas? Even if my local area was designed for foot traffic, the amount of space between literally everything here would make it impossible not to rely on a car.

In DFW you can sum about any trip to somewhere you want to be to a 30 minute drive. Favorite restaurant that isn't literally right next to you? 30 minutes or an hour without tolls. Work? That's another 30 minutes. Wanna go to a store nicer than a Walmart? You guessed it. 30 minutes.

Get home from work around 4:30? We'll now you have a cool 5 hours of time until bed time. Subtract an hour of the gym, an hour of cooking and maybe you've got 3 hours of time to do anything else. Waiting for public transportation or wasting time walking would just cut down even more of the hours in your day. Maybe I want more out of life than sacrificing my time to public transportation and walking.

why are you adding the garage area to the home area? wouldn't that deflate the value when comparing the size of the garage to the size of the house?
