Nonsense. People store boxes of crap they bought on Amazon in their garages already, and leave their cars outside on the driveway. That's what they'll continue to do. Yoga, art studio, small business? Ha!

A self-driving pod arrives whenever you tap your phone

You mean a taxi? Is the futuristic part that self-driving taxis will be cheaper than human-driven taxis?

Ignoring everything else, "our best square footage"? You mean the big room with concrete floors and no climate control?

Don't get me wrong, I love my garage workshop, but let's have some perspective here.

They would just stop building garages my guy.

... with enshitification monetisation of all the things at that level you will clearly need to sublet the garage to an even less fortunate family of four.

Bro forgot that, well, in most countries in the world people dont really have garages 

During COVID a lot of folks in my suburb converted their garages to living space and now park on the street.

So close, yet so far. Also, like, if you have a two car garage you probably already have one or two too many rooms in your mcmansion that you aren't really using for anything.

You'll own nothing and be happy about it

I like garage workshop.
