I would like to weigh in on this garage issue. I live in a house in South Minneapolis. I have to admit that it was a plus NOT to have a garage. I would not want to give up my extra garden space and other back yard amenities. Our neighbors put up a garage and I have to admit it makes their property look so "suburban." We have planted sumacs to hide their ugly garage. I think that one of the advantages to living in the city is that there is some individuality to our properties. The average lot in the city is not all that big. I hope that the city council will vote this idea down and allow the home buyer to make up their own mind if they want a garage or not.
Oh I have parked my car on the street for decades and I have not had it stolen. I know more people in the city and the suburbs that have their garages torched.
