Jim said: "Most of all, WHY do thousands of people with
garages NOT use those garages for sheltering
their cars. In Cooper, virtually every house has
a garage. Yet, MOST of the cars seem to be ON
the street! What, are the garages supersized
yard sheds or something?"

Jim, please come over and have this discussion with my husband. Up until 2 weeks ago, our garage was a supersized storage shed or should I say junk yard. My husband is one of those people who likes to collect things. He brings things home because "we might need it some day", "he got a good deal on it" or it's just a little broken and could be fixed" etc. (you get the picture) I pretty much cured him of bringing these treasures into the house by relegating the collecting habit to the garage. Two weeks ago we got a 20 yard dumpster and I am ashamed to say that we filled it with all the "could a would a should a" collectables my husband put in the garage during the last 11 years that we couldn't pawn off on anyone else. O.K. I added a few things from the house too.
So now, I will actually get to park in our garage this winter. It's a first and I suspect will be relatively short lived without intensive nagging. Fortunately, we have a long driveway so I haven't had to park on the street. I suspect some people in Cooper may be collectors too.
