What I hated most about our place in Manila before was there was no place for Edil to park a car. We usually borrow cars from his brother and father when we go out to make it easier for us, and Edil had to bring it back when we go home and then commute when he returns because he can’t risk it being scratched, dented or vandalized. There should be a housing law requiring homes to have a garage if they have a vehicle.
Garages in London can be rented out monthly. There are even establishments solely for garages for rent. You can think of it as parking spaces with partition. Only you are assured of getting it everyday as long as you rent it out. Many people have been leaving their cars at home, or driving a certain distance from home, parking their car and then taking public transportation to save on gas.
Since we live in a world of technology, garages for rent can now be searched for online! There are garage spaces listed, their exact location, landmarks and the nearest public transportation route. You can even apply online!
I hope this will be implemented soon in our country. We will be needing more ways for people to save.
And yes, with us living in the suburbs with houses apart from each other at least a good distance, we have a garage (and a front and backyard!)
