Whats worse is the parking was sold seperately by the developers from the units because the law said you had to have the parking but did not require it to be coupled to the units. I did not mind the parking requirment but my big beef was it should stay with the unit and the unit owner should not be limited to only putting a car in the space (which most buildings restricted it to).
So you'd rather force blind, epileptic, vertigo, mobility impaired and many other suffering people to pay more on essential living needs for utilities that they cannot ethically or legally use?
I in no way said that. I said I did not mind the requirement. Space is limited in a condo so a cheap per square foot but not climate controlled bit that you can put a storage pod on is nice but when its limited to only having a car there is the real problem.
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
