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.

The requirement is the problem. Why would you force someone who cannot use a parking spot to pay for one? It's a waste of money and resources that could go into many other things, like buying a bigger condo!

Storage pods don't make up for it, and it's illegal for good reasons (fire and health hazard).

Instead of developing a car spot only to redevelop it for another use, just build what you want at the start.

Thing is that the cost per square foot is way cheaper and its only a few square feet. You could not buy an appreciably bigger condo with the construction costs but you get a decent sized storage footprint. I don't see why a storage pod should have some sort of fire and health hazard that would not apply to storing in things in your condo. So I don't see good reason for it.
