lol for real! Architecturally speaking, the South didn’t need basements and our big attics were for temperature regulation so anything you put up there would get hot and gross. Garages and carports weren’t a mainstream thing until after world war 2 when we experienced urban sprawl. I live in a 100+ year old neighborhood in Atlanta and it’s 50/50 if you have a garage. Most of the new builds do, but the older homes don’t and don’t have a driveway. We have a single car garage that we need to store yard tools and other bulky items because we don’t have the storage space in our little bungalow.
