A lot of people who have garages don't even use them for parking their cars.
In the two years I lived there, I knew three people who had cars broken into right outside the garage where they could of parked.
But, your solution doesn't address root cause. If people start parking cars inside garages, thieves will find other things to target, perhaps even becoming more emboldened to breaking into your home.

That's BS. Most crimes are targets of opportunities. Eliminating cars parked outside as opportunities isn't going to all of a sudden cause a big increase in home break-ins.

Not unique to Albuquerque. First of all, the so-called "two-car" garages barely fit even one. You can forget trucks altogether. Second, people have so much crap in the garage that there is hardly any room left for anything else.
We have a two car garage which we have been using for our vehicles for over 15 years... It has had a car, a truck and a motorcycle... Yes it was/is tight...

Except if you look at the root causes of theft in Albuquerque, they are: drug addiction and poverty. Eliminating cars parked outside does nothing to help these these two issues. Home robberies are not unusual in Albuquerque as it is.

I agree about the root causes, but it's a lot easier and less brazen to do a smash and grab on an unoccupied vehicle (or just open an unlocked door), than breaking into a locked home. Plus residential burglaries also declined by nearly the same percentage (39% vs 38%) as auto burglaries between the first six months of 2018 and 2019.
As mentioned in the other active thread on ABQ crime, the actual statistics the city announced can be viewed at https://www.cabq.gov/mayor/documents...9-mid-year.pdf. I'm optimistically hoping that this trend will continue.
Well, its is above your pay grade if you do not comprehend the publisher of the article.

That's kinda funny but in all honesty "claimsjournal.com" from the name alone does sound like a sketchy source of news.
