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.

Raised ranches with the garage underneath the main level is not what I would ever want. You have to go up a flight of stairs to get to the main level of the home from the garage. No thank you. Hubby and I, while house hunting up north, were shown a home that had a really nice floor plan. Come time to see the garage, we had to go down a flight of stairs. I vetoed that house so fast your head would spin. We walked out immediately.
