I like our garages just fine here. Easy to enter and I don't get wet when it's raining.

Raised ranches have garages attached to the homes up north. They're in fact underneath the main level, with a lower level usually featuring a den or game room and all the other living areas on the main level. But when you're on the street, facing the house, the garage isn't the thing that stands out. It's not "in your face" like they are here.
To look at some of these houses, you'd think that the house is very tiny in comparison. And that's all you see, street after street, neighborhood after neighborhood (except the courtyard villas, where the garage is sorta-kinda off to the side).
It's like "oh look Mabel, a garage with a house attached!"
That is what I see, when I look at those houses. I see garages, with houses attached.
