I feel like you answered your own question here. Having two cars is pretty expensive, if nothing else you have to pay for insurance for both.

Driving around yesterday, I noticed that most houses have a 2 car garage. The ones with a 1 car garage always have one or two cars parked in the driveway. I see one car garage homes obviously renovated to make them two car, or a carport added on for the extra car.

This was a lower middle class area.
