They need a reality check right about here, and maybe a list that distingushes between “need” and “want.” If they are out in the medium to far distant suburbs, two parking spaces may be affordable, but if they are near a transit line, why would they each have a car?

Also, don’t they need their workplace to be close enough to come home and walk the dogs on occasion? If they haven’t rented before, except as college students, they might watch the young singles on “For Rent” on HGTV as it would help them to decide between location, price and other amenities.
