> 5,328$/year in parking fees (really?)
Apparently you haven't lived in a city where parking is a premium, and often a second deed with a house or condo. In Boston, separate parking spots last year went for $94,420 on average, with a $67,000 median price. Granted, it's not a necessity, but neither are many other things on their hypothetical budget.
Rates for commuters are also very high. I don't work downtown, where the prices are really insane, and a single spot at work still costs me almost $1200 a year.
- Retric 16y agoI am just used to companies paying for parking. I am not at the top of the food chain and my company is more than willing to cover a parking space or the equivalent in subway fees.
- smackfu 16y agoRight, that's for the NYC location, and median monthly parking rates in midtown or downtown are $500-600. Given that, most people commuting into NYC don't drive because you would have to sit in traffic for hours everyday just for the pleasure of getting to that parking spot. Huntington is on the LIRR and its an hour train ride to Penn Station.
- kbob 16y agoWhat about $780/year for parking in Plano, Texas? I moved away from Plano in the 1990s, but at that time, there wasn't any place in the whole city where you could pay to park.
