Garage too high - What solutions are there?

The reunification brought up many detailed issues and yes, Auto Germany can face a huge problem. But instead of denying it and acting protectionist, which is globally insane anyway, one should take the opportunity to change and adapt.

What is the music industry today kicking themselves for, fighting illegal downloads instead of embracing the form of user demand earlier? After that, they tried to crush legal streaming and now they’re annoyed that someone else is making the big profits because the platforms, the ecosystem, belong to someone else and they only provide content.
See car manufacturers who think they will never be mere contract manufacturers. Wait and see.

The car discussion does not have to be reduced to the environment.
Where highways are today and constantly being widened, actually fiber optics and power lines belong there. Where main roads and parking lots are in the city, living space belongs there.
Individual transport as we know it today simply gets in the way.
Not to mention the fates and costs caused by human error in road traffic.

And to come back to the environment: batteries are dirty, combustion engines too, just differently. Batteries are still technologically at the beginning, more will come. Combustion engines, well.
The most environmentally friendly car is always the one that is not built at all. That means reducing the number of cars in Germany to one third. That works. For that, Karsten’s usage model is needed.

In 30 years there will still be cars. VW will still be building cars, but maybe their logo won’t be on the hood anymore.
And if it is, that I am most certain of, they will no longer sell them to end customers. (High)technology is not sold, usage rights are sold. From ownership of a thing to usage fees for a service.

The important sentence is a parking space that must be proven. If my garage is a parking space on top, then it can also become a shed.

That's all true, Karsten. Only: nowadays, with the mini plots, fewer and fewer have two parking spaces plus a garage. For most, THE garage/double garage is one/two of the required parking spaces.

Scout, with us it is like this. Our car is never inside and yet always on our property and does not take a parking space from any guest in the turning circle. We only had to provide proof of one parking space.

Our neighbors, except for 1.5, also use their garages as storage rooms or tiled with a sofa, bong, and pool table. I wouldn’t be up for that; I’m really glad I don’t have to get up earlier in the morning to scrape ice. But there is no slope here either.

We had to provide 2 proofs and we are accommodating 8.

It only doesn’t help the original poster.

Cars are still necessary there. There is simply too much missing, among other things in the infrastructure. I wouldn’t even know how to get to work here. You also can’t send a bus from Klein Klecksdorf to Klein Klecksdorf for 1 or 2 people.

However, buses used to run. Directly to SW for shift work. Always on time. That would still be possible now. There are enough shift workers.

What are all the electric cars being charged with?
How are the peaks supposed to be covered?
Every evening between 4 and 6 pm, one to two cars are plugged into the wallbox in every garage.

You misunderstand the approach of "Verkehrswende". Verkehrswende does not simply mean turning every combustion engine into an electric car and that's it.
Mobility transition must network all forms of transport, including individual transport as well as public transport.
