homeowners, garage parking?

It's not major cities I have seen do it, more like the rich suburbs of the cities to keep low income out. And get rid of the low income that was there before.

Inflated housing costs and high property tax does a good job of that as well.

A lot of low to middle class areas around here have various "Weed Ordnances" and nuisance laws about letting your yards look like unkept fields.

My old house had a 1 car garage that held our outside junk. The driveway had 2-3 cars depending on the day and the street held the other 1 or 2 depending on the day. Our streets were double wide to accommodate for that though. Many driveways in the area are very small. The current place sucks and only has a car port..

I don't remember about ordinances very much, but I believe we had to keep everything somewhat maintained. Not like it mattered we all loved doing outside shit.

all of my vehicles sleep in the garage.

I guess I am the odd person out. I feel like your garages are for your cars first and foremost. That is why they are called garages and not a 2 or three stall storage place. I have neighbors that have three car garages and don't have ANY cars (or bikes) in them...I think it makes a neighborhood look messy and tacky to have cars in the street and in all the driveways. Now don't get me wrong, I understand the need, however the neighborhood would look like crap if EVERYONE did it. If you don't like the look of a well kept neighborhood, then it sounds like country living is for you! That is one of the perks of living off by yourself. However, if you choose to live in a neighborhood you should do what you can to keep it looking neat and tidy. Sorta like when you live in a condo you don't blare your music or stomp your feet when you are on the second floor. It may be "your" house but you still live in a community. It is a respect issue.

I am sure I have called the flaming with this one.. . LOL

In a way, I respect what you're saying. However, in the real world it's just not acceptable. Like in the case with my old place. 4 cars do not fit in a 1 car garage, not all driveways can fit a full family's arsenal of cars or bikes what have you, and sometimes everyone has to do it. Older houses don't have 3 car garages, cramped neighborhoods have very short driveways for the most part and when you have a decent size family it no longer becomes fun playing musical chairs with cars and the driveway being the game. I guess what I'm saying is sometimes there just isn't room.
