I live in a house with an attached garage. Opening the garage door does NOT leave the rest of the house exposed to the outdoors, as there's a door which leads to the inside of the house (and it's the same construction as the front door). Secondly, it's about a 50/50 chance in our neighborhood that the garage will be used to store vehicles. The other half of the time I've seen garages used for general storage, or for a workshop of some kind (my girlfriend has a ton of wood working equipment in the garage).
