Case in point there is a new Housing Area they just built right Off-Post. The homes are similiar to our CYVs, and VERY upscale. They all have garages but none use them, when you look down that road, it just does not present itself as a classy upscale neighborhood. Also, look at your TV video, when they show Homes and street shots, all vehicles are off the driveways!
Your comparison of how people go to restaurants does not really fit, as I can choose not to go to a place like that if I do not want to!

The point I was trying to make, perhaps poorly, is that your definition of trashy is purely subjective and apparently not accepted by the powers upon high since we are allowed to park our cars in our driveways despite some pretty strict restrictions in place to keep TV from looking trashy. Why even have a driveway if not to keep a car on it? Might as well just have the garages open up onto a street or make the driveway very short to save on pavement cost. Seems that throughout TV the intention was to provide parking space for cars as the driveways are sized accordingly. Perhaps a lifetime of living on military bases has colored your perception of what is trashy. I have probably not moved around as much as you did but in my 13 moves there was never any negative connotation associated with leaving your car in your driveway. Most people used their garage for storgage.
