There is something known as a tandem garage, that is being included in the construction of a large number of new homes being built.

Whenever you need to use the car in front, you have to pull out the one in back. So, what many homeowners have chosen to do instead, is park only one car in their tandem garage, leading to an entire garage full of empty space.
