I completely disagree with you. It's an enormous convenience in poor weather, with very minor risks that are easily mitigated (I can't believe there is anyone that doesn't have a CO detector and smoke detector at least on every floor, it should be illegal not to have them) and they can be very easily insulated. I have had both and I'd never have a place without a garage or carport.

Where I live, Santa Cruz, it's against the building code to insulate the garage lest it get converted into an unpermitted extra room. Speaking from experience here.

  That law would have more teeth in Maine.

    Insulation matters with heat too.

      That law would have more teeth in Texas, then.

This forum has a lot of Californians, who either never have or at least no longer regularly feel 30F. Let alone -20F. Also, as of 2011-ish, CO detectors are required by law in CA if you have an attached garage, a fireplace, or gas heat.

  I'd also trade it for open space on my lot (since usually the attached garage has less driveway & structure footprint). But your point is well taken.
