Is that even legal in the US? Here in Germany it's definitely illegal to use a parking spot - including your garage - for storage. It's considered an unauthorized special use.

The reason is because parking spots and garages face different regulation than living spaces. For example, you cannot construct a shed on the edge of your property but you may build a garage there.

I wish it was illegal in the state's to use your garage as storage.

I live in suburbia and everyone parks on the fucking street because they buy so much shit, that a regular house is not enough to store it, that they have to use their garage too.

Then I have to play frogger just to get to my house.

And most of the hem.jave huge fucking trucks to comuite in.

BITCH, you ain't hauling shit, you are all hat and not cattle, basic-ass motherfucker.

It might be illegal but its stupid to limit space like this with a condo.

And unfortunately they often do. We're only allowed to keep bikes or motorcycles in our parking spots at my building (besides cars of course)

We can't even do bikes and motorcycles
