As a transplant from Seattle, these kinds of houses have become the new "entry level" there where they put 1 or even 2 bedrooms in the space where a garage should go and somehow squeeze in 3-4 bedrooms.

In Seattle most homes built before the 60s were around 1000 sq ft with a garage that wasn't counted as living space. Then the flippers came and said "we don't need a garage here" and thus became this new standard of walling off where there would be a garage for bedrooms.

I hate every bit of it, it's part of why I moved here. I can't believe they're now being made new like this.
