All across America, land has become so precious that floorplans dictate that the houses all be "Garage with a 3 bedroom attached home".
I hate it. The elevation looks like crap, but worse, within a few years the garage is full and the cars are forced to be parked in the driveway. Then the kids grow up and they get a beat up car as their first car and park it in front of the house on the street...
Now drive down that street and all one sees is mass of cars... that's what really turns me off from attached front facing garages in new middle class subdivisions. In Houston, you have to pay an extra 75k for a much larger or older home to get a detached garage that is situated behind the home itself.
(no offense to anyone who lives in one of these homes... it's just a strong personal opinion)
