Look at most of the new construction and the lack of storage space. Almost seems planned.

This. They build these houses with no storage. They use preassembled trusses that means the attic shouldn't be used for storage. Basements aren't common in my area. They put in front load garages that can barely fit two cars empty. And then the HOAs prohibit sheds. Where do they keep the lawn equipment? Tools? Kid toys? Holiday decorations?
