Not sure I'd want to have a parking garage below my private house. I'm sure they've designed it to properly vent exhaust fumes and everything else, and insulated well against vibrations, but you never know.

It's been done before.
Alban Row in DC was built atop the parking garage for an adjacent tower... same strategy as LP 2550.
Rather than having individual yards, the backyards of the homes are unified into a
private park (also atop the garage) and the necessary vents are hidden in the park greenery. Isolating the vibrations is pretty simple if you only have one layer of parking; the parking slab sits on earth and is structurally independent from the walls that enclose it, so vibrations are not transmitted.
