For like... 700$ US you can get a "car port" and just bolt the metal supports to the concrete pad.

i dont know where the idea a covering for a vehicle is obligatory even comes from, theres not much of a rule to provide parking period, nevermind covered

You ever had to clear snow off your car before work? It sucks

if you're able-bodied and have a $10 brush or scraper, you can clear a car in like 5 minutes or less. it's even a bit fun.

Many Canadians are doing this trump-yassified

Unless it rained before it started to snow so you have a nice layer of ice under the snow. Covered parking is just way nicer if you have a car.

Yeah, that's valid. For me, it's like 90% of my life was spent in a place where we had to clear our cars of snow and ice as they warmed up for most days for 3 to 4 months of the year, so it never felt that wrong. Covered parking was never even on our radar tbh, but I can see how yucky it would be if it wasn't the usual

Fun?! Nah, fuck that

that's how i know developers don't really give a shit about it. this scheme compromises so much for a thing the competition knows ain't much of a selling point

people don't like getting rained on when they gotta take stuff in or outside

but we'll tolerate it for basic accomidation, which is seriously bungled by this 'conveinience' scheme
