How to make a 2 car garage a 4 car garage

Its hard to find street parking on our street sometimes. The problem is that everyone only has a 2 car garage, yet they own at least 3 cars. Some neighbors have 4 or 5 cars. Making the problem worse is that some garages are so full of junk, that you can only park 1 car or even none because it is so full. As a result, cars are spilled over into the street making it difficult for visitors to find a space.
Americans seem to be obsessed with cars, often borrowing more and more to buy the latest cars each year. I think consistently borrowing money to buy new cars is the one of the most detrimental effect on one’s net worth. Borrowing money to buy a rapidly depreciating asset is not the recipe for financial wealth, but I will address this topic more in depth at another time.
The immediate problem is finding room for the cars we already own. Short of moving to a much larger house with a 4 or 5 car garage, we need to find room in our existing home for our cars. Here is a possible solution, the Phantom Park.
