But garages don't account for 42% of a homes' size.

You should see some of the houses around here. Sometimes, the garage is more than 60% of the whole house.

For that to be true, you'd have a 2-car garage attached to at most 400 SqFt of living space...

Or in other words, for a home with a reasonable 1500 SqFt of living space, you'd need at least an 8 car garage...

Yeah. Sometimes they even have 3 car garages. They are funky as fuck. Like apartments with multiple garages attached.
