Moved to Dallas a few months ago, anyone else think it’s strange that so many neighborhoods use rear entry garages and people drive through alleys to get to them? Never saw these growing up.

Not texas, only dallas

I grew up in California with front garages. Lived in Chicago for 10 years, where all garages open to the alley. Now in UP, same deal. 

It makes you realize how absolutely architecturally atrocious front garages are. Seriously, who wants to stare at a giant piece of sheet metal as 50% of the facade?

False tradeoff. You can move the square footage wherever you want. Eh make the for t yard small by pushing the house to the front if you want to maximize backyard.

I agree. I can’t stand the rear entry garage. You give away half your backyard just so the front (that you won’t ever use) is untouched.

I guess it’s a preference, but I made sure my agent didn’t show me anything with a. Rear entry garage.

It’s so that the streets would look extra nice without cars, but so many people use their garage as storage and park out front anyways. Then the narrow streets are impossible to drive through because of all the cars out front. I hate them. I’d rather have a full back yard.

Hi All, just sharing what on mind to vent it out from my system. Maybe with this I could gain some insights and inspiration.
I have been working as a data scientist since 2018 & have been the bread winner. I have neither been under a proper mentor nor with a team of peers from my field to help me out. I was alone and confused. I have never really got the chance to prove myself which makes me all the more depressed. I'm not sure what to do with my future, indecisive and low on confidence.

My family mistreated me when I was younger, and now that I don’t live at home, they don’t call or bother to look for me, because frankly, I think they have a hard time admitting what happened - and will never apologize to me either. If I don’t call, or occasionally go see them during the holidays, we would never talk. Some of them are growing old (health-wise), and I’m scared this entire situation is just irreparable. Has anyone ever gone through anything similar? Any advice or thoughts?
