    Even the closest I’ve seen to real life American-style suburbia in Europe, which would be the areas of Greater London from Zone 3 outwards (which is mostly made up of long rows of 2 floor houses), have nowhere near that amount of outside parking spaces.

    Most of European “suburbia” is made up of appartment buildings with 5 - 8 floors and with parlking under them in the form of one or two levels of underground garages, whilst outside parking tends to be pretty limited with at most only one side of the street with perpendicular parking spaces like that, though more common is just parallel to the road parking spaces on one or both sides.

    What I’ve also seen in some places is an appartment building blocks (with multiple buildings or just one large one) in an U shape with a parking area inside that U shape.
