George,

No. You are wrong. 1/3 of my house, and every house on every street on
which
I've lived has a garage supposedly dedicated to cars (bigger houses
simply
have bigger garages nearly in the same proportion in most
neighborhoods,
though there are some areas where the size of the house greatly
exceeds
this
basic rule).

Do you expect anyone to take you seriously? A 2,100 foot square
house,
the average now, would have to have about 50 or more cars to meet your
criteria.

It is not square footage that matters since a lot is never filled by
building anyway, but the size of the lots determine how many houses
you can put in any given area. If a house has 60' frontage (typical
suburban lot) and 20' of the frontage is taken up by an attached
double car garage then 1/3 of the space is effectively dedicated to
cars.

A typical suburban lot (R10) is about 12,000 sqare feet. A car takes up
60-100 square feet. What about 120 on your lot?
