To my complete surprise, in Bavaria in Germany it's illegal to use your garage for anything else than storing your cars. I mean it's not checked a lot but still...

I can’t say it’s always the case, but a lot of places built in the early 2000s - 2010s had insufficient storage space, necessitating people using garages for storage.

I will forever feel sympathy to whoever currently lives in one apartment I remember viewing back in 2010 - where one of the bedrooms was literally 2m x 2.7m and no BIR.
