Yea but their condominium fees are super expensive. I know this because my relatives owns like a couple of buildings. I have seen condominium fees as high as $1400 a month.
When I moved from a large house to a condo, I found the necessity to purge all that stuff was very beneficial. I found things I hadn't used for years, so why was I keeping and storing it?
The problem with parking spots in condos is that, while they are owned, the walls and ceiling around them are common element, and you can't attach/build anything to a common element.
Builders will never build storage lockers that large -- there isn't enough room to build one for every unit, and no one would pay for them. We have extra lockers in our building that have sat unsold for a couple of years now. I also see lots of empty lockers, so storage isn't always an issue.
Why can't the condo board allow owners to put in a frame around their parking spot, to use it as an extra storage space? Or at least the builders could build storage lockers that are the same size as a single-car garage?

I believe it's fire related building code which prevents this.
Many condos do allow for wall-mounted racks -- we just added them in our building.
Interestingly, I would think that many condo buyers would actually be willing to pay a little bit more to purchase a locker if the lockers were more like storage rooms and less like the kennel cages they are today.
