^^ As you were one who recently bought, do you mind telling us the price differences between a home with carriage house and one without.
If the price difference isn't something huge (-50k) and you don't expect renting the unit out, it could be very useful to have as additional family space. In comparison to people who build a 2-storey garage so above they can have an entertainment room/mancave.

I find it fascinating that so many people care about what others do on their own fucking property

Keep in mind this is above the garage, not replacing it as a two level unit like some of the other ones linked in this thread. The house for us is already large enough, we have two extra bedrooms and a media room that are rarely used so we didn't need the extra space and paying extra for it didn't really make sense to me. I could see it helping resale down the road but if someone wanted to they could always put a suite in the basement, it has a walkout door.

If I was to put a suite down there I would insulate the ceiling, put two layers of drywall, resilient channel to create an air space and then a final layer of drywall to finish the ceiling. You'd lose just over 2" of space but you would gain a reasonable STC rating. There are better ways to soundproof but this one is fairly cost effective for what you get.

What they need to do is to get over the vanity of living in west van.
At 1200-1500 a month I'd accept godwin's argument.
