I don't know the full context of this conversation, but is it normal for homes to have large garages? I live in a 620 sq foot house (way too small, I have only one kid), and no garage. I wouldn't even want a garage, I have a driveway? Some of my neighbors have garages but they are not that large, they certainly don't make up 50% of their space, but some of them 1/3rd, if their house is smaller. Most houses in my neighborhood are bigger than my house but not huge.
Depends where you live; large garages can be normal. Obviously not 60% of the space, but garages can seriously help protect vehicles and you from the elements. They're great if you have severe winters, frequent rain, strong sunshine, and are now helpful for electric car charging.
That's a good point, we do have hail and tornados where I live. But I guess growing up poor we just accepted damage to vehicles. Not that I'm saying it's ideal, just that I hadn't really considered it an avoidable part of life.
Don't forget it helps deter thieves as well. Smash and grabs, catalytic converter thefts, etc. Also if you have other vehicles like bicycles/motorcycles then you'll definitely want them inside a garage vs outside where they're visible and more vulnerable.
My bikes and lawnmower are in a really small shed. I do wish we had a bigger shed though mainly because we have to stack the bikes on top of the lawnmower so it's a big hassle with my wife and I both being disabled to unpack and repack the shed every time the grass needs cut. So a garage would help with that too. I guess I want a small garage now, you've sold me haha. Still can't afford it though.
Our severe weather season includes hail and tornadoes so garages are fairly common.
