Jay Leno’s star power wasn’t enough to persuade a California legislative committee to pass a measure to allow owners of classic cars like him to be exempted from the state’s rigorous smog-check requirements.
Imagine being rich and famous and this is your political cause. What an effing creep.
I definitely don’t think garages should be required or even normalized in high density neighborhoods. But I also don’t think they should be outlawed if someone wants to use their own space to store a classic car.
Ok so where did you get that we were saying that garages should be outlawed entirely? We’re just saying that too much space is dedicated, in general, to storing cars. Each person who’s “just one guy who wants a garage” adds up, and it’s not just classic car owners.
Now, a couple people with a garage won’t kill anyone but garages are absolutely normalized in low-density, single-family home suburbs and those places are huge tax drains for the cities they attach themselves to. They demand the same services and maintenance attention as urban areas but can’t afford it so they rip tax money away from elsewhere to subsidize their lifestyle. “No man is an island” means you gotta consider how your life impacts others and that we all gotta live together.
