Larger garages are more environmentally friendly. My garage is huge compared to my house. It has 2 cars, a laundry, and all of the stuff I don't use every day.

This is an area that is not heated or cooled. By having all the storage in the garage, I can get by with less living space.

Garages are cheaper per square metre than rooms, so you save money there too.

You get all the stuff into the same size house, but with less building materials, less heating and cooling costs, and less clutter in your house.

Wouldn’t it be more environmentally friendly to store your cars outside and not have a garage?

[-] pHr34kY@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

My car is 20 years old and has zero rust. The environmental footprint of manufacturing a car is huge. They last much longer in a garage. It also doesn't need to get washed as often. Washing has an environmental overhead too.

[-] JackbyDev@programming.dev 4 points 1 year ago

No, because it gets dirty and damaged more often meaning you need to clean and repair it more often.

My car lives outside and I literally don’t do anything to it besides oil changes and occasional tire replacements. If all you have is a daily driver you really don’t need a garage.

Do you live in a place that gets lots of snow? I hear a car is practically immortal in California; unlike Ohio where the salt/brine destroying the car slowly every winter.

Yes but why would my car accumulate road salt while sitting in my driveway and how would storing it in a garage make this less of a problem?

[-] FreeFacts@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 year ago

But the brine comes from de-iced roads, so it's irrelevant to whether the car is parked in a garage. Maybe roadside parking could expose it to more brine due to passing traffic.

Sounds like the problem is all the stuff.

[-] BeardedGingerWonder@feddit.uk 2 points 1 year ago

You only have stuff you use every day?

[-] aspensmonster@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Mostly, yes. I don't have enough other stuff to warrant storing it separately in a garage.
