    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)

      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.
