The South Australian government wants to increase the size of parking spaces in garages for new residential builds, but the opposition and industry groups say it will just make properties more expensive for buyers.
I live in an area with a lot of new developments and this is definitely a planning problem that needs to be looked at. Many roads constantly have rows of cars parked along the side because none of the owners use their garage (either because their oversized car doesn’t fit or because the development is too tight to get in and out of comfortably).
When we moved in, we had a two car garage and three cars. (Actually a few project cars in the back yard, but they don’t count).
The land developer did not permit three car garages
Now I have two adult nieces and one nieces boyfriend and their extra three cars.
We also have one camper trailer that used to fit in the back yard, but someone installed a roof-top-tent on it and now doesn’t even fit in the garage.
Fortunately, I have two very accomodating neighbours.
We also have one neighbour who did drive a RAM 2500, but decided to downsize to a normal sized vehicle because they couldn’t get their vehicle out of the street because of all the P-Plater cars that were inconsiderately parked in the street.

If there are cars lining the streets, that’s a red flag to build a damn light rail instead.
oh no no, we won’t be doing anything sensible like that.
