As explained three days ago, apartment landlords are taking away tenant garages and converting them into residential rentals. The practice is rampant across San Diego County, including my neighborhood of University Heights.
Unsurprisingly, the alleys separating streets fill with parked cars, particularly late day into the evening hours. You lost your garage and can’t find a legal space, so you make do and hope to move before the parking police blast by writing tickets.
What do these garage-to-tiny-flat conversions look like? Well, the Featured Image tells all. The five miniscule studios replace six garages. They aren’t listed yet, so their exact small size and big monthly rents aren’t available for me to share with you. Expect an update, someday soon.
