That was a very high rate for 2020 and since you were only on a 3-year term, you didn't get much time to get a "win" on the increases of 2022/2023 either. But in the long run, won't really matter.

This one's a few blocks from me. Builder gave no F's about anything outside the property line. 
The first buyer did have a project car in there at one time, he had it on a dolly and would wheel it out to work on., but they sold the house a couple years later.

I don’t know how you can get away with those elevations for garages
I ran into one recently a pretty high end house 5+ mill on the west side if not closer to 10
The guy was building the house for himself and had a detached garage backing out onto a flat lane, but the garage slab was like 14” above the grade.. I took one look at it I’m like bro.. even with a car not considered a sports car etc. a Corolla ain’t making it up this.
These elevations should not be allowed at the permitting phase let alone approved by inspectors etc.
It’s such a steep grade most cars cannot get inside, it’s such a small garage a normal full sized pickup probably won’t fit
So what is this garage for then?

the inspectors don't give no shits, everyone is so concerned about quantity over quality right now there are absolutely no standards beyond pumping out as many shitty properties as they can get away with

Even with that, I’m very surprised they would just allow buddy guy to basically create an entirely new grade there with a couple trucks of asphalt lol, like you can’t build somthing and just grade up to whatever you build lol
In Surrey there were a few times we actually had to jack hammer out both a garage slab and a driveway and create a cut in the driveway and lower the garage slab and it was wayyyyyyy better than this thing

I don't know what you guys are complaint about, 99% of the population does not drive a riced out slammed civic
Have you guys never went up a steep hill?
I would bet 95% of cars today can easily make it up and into that garage. Opening your doors once inside, that's another story, same with height clearance

Don't blame the cities for garage sizes - blame home buyers.
There's no incentive for developers to build the garage out to anything beyond the minimum size in the building code to accommodate larger vehicles, like pickup trucks.

Opening your doors once inside, that's another story, same with height clearance | It's not the slope, it's the too sudden changeover from the flat ground to the slope... and then the slope to the flat garage... you'd be surprised how little it takes for a car to get hung up.
Zero chance your Vette can get up there! I know my MR2 and Celica would both scrape if not get high centred!! And they're stock height.

So what is this garage for then? | As long as the transition grade is not more than 8%, it can technically pass inspectors.
