In South County, much of the new construction for townhomes comes with these weird 2 car garages, known as "tandem" garages. Basically, instead of 2-wide, the garage is 2-deep. Stupid concept because if you need to get the front car out, you have to move the rear car out of the way.
What many folks are doing......using their tandem garage as a 1-car garage. They put up a drywall halfway through their garage, mud and tape it, and convert the back end of the garage into a regular room. It connect to the main house just as the old garage door would. I have seen them used mostly as play room for kids. This totally violates the CCRs as well as the local building codes, but it is much cheaper than paying for the extra bedroom.
