Wow. The driveway between my attached garage and the street is barely long enough to fit a car, or possibly a minivan. The yard to either side is either a foot or 2 from the front corner of the house, or a few feet from our property line. I couldn't widen my driveway if I wanted to. Oh well. I'm happy that we make do as a 1-car household.
When I bought my house a million years ago, the agent told us of some homeowner in Maplewood that had to have a newly installed driveway removed because it circled in front of the house and they never got a permit.
