Pity the Family Chariot Cold Weather Dilemma
New York dispatch notes wide shifts in housing and driving habits as garages and carports decline. In Washington DC an estimated 46 percent of cars stay overnight on the street, while up to 55 percent of homes in the Northeast and North Central lack proper shelter. A Prestone survey finds existing shelters are often occupied by lawn equipment and storage, forcing cars to endure harsh weather as postwar trends push families toward basementless homes. By 1940 two thirds of houses had garages or carports, dropping to about 63 percent by 1956, with forecasts suggesting half of cars may lack shelter a decade hence as garages repurpose for storage and parking fills factories and campuses in severe weather.
