While those opposing call it a garage, the board's argument is that it is a house, with collectible cars in it. They essentially have a large living room with 7 cars. Thoughts?

Meh, I'm not wild about it (the design or the use), but I could see the argument that this is a house with a large car collection on display. To expand, it would be like saying that my residence is a house with a large furniture and art collection on display.

If it's got a bedroom, a bathroom, and a kitchen and otherwise meets the requirements for a certificate of occupancy, it's a house.

Now I'm really curious to know what kind of cars are in there... Car collections housed this way really interest me. Here's a pic of my favorite.

When looking at the location on Google Earth and then looking at the older pic's on Streets I guess the people that bulldozed the older ranch style homes and built their "mansions"  ::) I guess there a tinsy bit upset that something you can't see from the street that is smaller than their's, and looks different from theirs is going to hurt the value of their over priced/built monstrosity. I have more of a problem with those that have changed the character of the neighborhood forever.
