What do we do with all this shit when we get rid of the cars?

Why on earth would you require two parking spaces for a two-bedroom house? That's so often going to be housing used by parents with kids.

Lol, Adelaide has the widest roads. Wish they'd do this in Melbourne. For some reason, although most houses in Melbourne have driveways, everyone parks their multiple vehicles on the already narrow roads.

This would actually be good legislation for cyclists as it would mean less cars parked in the street.

Just burn the world and be done with it.

"I think currently the regulation allows for developers to build new properties with garages that are frankly just too narrow," Premier Peter Malinauskas told ABC Radio Adelaide.

"You can't even fit a Hilux or a four-wheel drive in them and that just doesn't make sense given that's where such a significant proportion of the new sale car market in Australia comes from."

When I built my house, I made the garage 8000x6000 even though the architect, builders and council all said I should do 5000x5500 or something absurdly small.

That extra metre of width meant that I had shelving down both walls of the garage, and I didn't need anywhere as much storage inside the house (space which costs more to build, heat and cool).

My neighbourhood is full of houses with little garages. Every single one of them is filled with shit and there is a car or two on the street. The backstreets are all half-duplex because of it.

Another BIG difference is that I have a 15A power socket next to my car. You simply cannot charge an EV on the street.

Legislators will do anything except build a tram

Just take the Japanese approach, require proof that your garage is big enough before selling you the car.

but the opposition and industry groups say it will just make properties more expensive for buyers.

*proceeds to not mention which industry groups*

To be fair, it probably goes without saying...

Just everything to please the bogan vote. Football, golf, 4WDs
