“Garage Parking Question: Would others say this counts as parking in a garage?”

“Dear PoPville,

Ran across a very DC problem. I need insurance on my car, and the quote asks if I park in a garage. Like many DCers, my backyard fence has a garage door on it, with alley access. There’s no roof to make it a full garage, but obviously no accidental or intentional harm can come to the car once I park it in my backyard behind the garage door.

Would others say this counts as parking in a garage?”
