My place didn’t even mention the garage in the listing, but had the garage box checked in the MLS. There were zero pictures of the garage itself, just a picture from the front that showed a two-car garage door and it mentioned that it had an electric car charger installed inside (accurate).

Not in my area. The garage madness is worse than the bathroom lies.

I brought a measuring tape when we went house hunting and eliminated a number of properties for garages/bays that wouldn’t fit cars.

And the MLS data on garages is usually garbage with very poor classification compared to every other aspect of a house.

It’s based on the MLS data, which only gives an estimated square footage. This doesn’t always match the number of bays. Where I live there is so much random garbage they call housing that you end up finding that they’re distinctly wrong in most cases.

Three reasons I can think of:

Something like that. Perhaps “United Statesperson”.

I love that they’re small and have few moving parts (piston engines are excessively complex, even with software and a few newer technologies replacing many physical parts). However, they will never beat out electric. Electric is the future because it’s extremely simple and we can net efficiency gains without selling…

This is why you want to keep the federal government as reined in as possible and focused only on very universal issues. I do think that emissions standards are one thing that is very practical to have under federal control due to treaties and the fact air/water/etc is a shared resource that crosses state boundaries. I…

The will allow you to import 50-state-legal cars, but they have some rules about how used they must be before this is allowed...

The results were pretty astounding in the past, but I’m not sure they can be justified today. Los Angeles in the 1980s was pretty terrible, in the 1990s it was better and continued to get better, but it really hit a plateau by the early 00s. All the added requirements just don’t seem to have any notable effect…

This one has always been deeply troubling to me. It’s one of the poorest descriptions I’ve seen and reinforces a separation/otherness that we should all be striving to reduce.

I hate that they call us “Americans”. It’s such a painfully inaccurate term for what country we belong to.

America is a continent, not a country. Can be anywhere from the northern tip of Canada (or the northernmost point in Greenland, since it’s technically in North America) through the southern tip of Chile (or the southernmost point in the Sandwich Islands, since they’re also technically South America).

Speeding. At a true speed trap. There was a 30mph sign hidden behind a tree on a road that was 45 for 40+ miles on the other side. You cross into a different city and that city sets it to 30 without the required warning. Not that it mattered, I came to a stop at a light about 15’ before this hidden sign and couldn’t…

It does rain there, in spite of the oppressive sunshine. There’s also a thick fog layer for part of the day for some of the year.

I gave up after the beginning of the second paragraph. You can’t even comprehend what they said and your advice is pure garbage.

Let’s say you want to become a citizen of Mexico, Honduras, Guatemala, Belize, or any other country south of the US with no money, no education, no skill with the local language, no knowledge of the culture, no family, no friends, etc. What are your chances?

It actually is illegal to stay on the visas they are generally granted, but don’t let them know that. There are ways to get longer-term visas and I’ve known people that lived in the US on these. They had no interest in becoming US citizens, they were simply expats...

In the region, it’s totally normal to say “illegals” or “illegal” to refer to “illegal aliens”, even in mixed company. Unless you’re some freaky broken Hollywood type that is completely disconnected from SoCal culture (that also hire them to clean their houses/maintain their yards/clean their pools), you’ll know what…
