In Midtown Manhattan, it costs $630 a month to park a car! http://www.thebostonchannel.com/money/13753221/detail.html Of course, I can't be too smug, Boston ranks 2nd most expensive after New York at $460 a month. How much do the rest of you pay to park?
Fucker!!! Too much! But I work in Jersey City and its cheaper than Manhattan but still high. The bus is good 15-20 minute ride. And there is a bit of traffic around here cuz we are near the Holland Tunnel.
Bloody hell, I though £10 a day was bad enough! Other half gets me to drive him to and from work, rather than pay it.
^Oh, anyone who parks in central London needs their bloody head examined! But then, I'd say the same about Manhattan, so... edit: to gul
People I know that live in other states always ask why I don't drive to work. They think that all jobs up here have big parking lots outside the office building. They can't fathom a building without some kind of parking area.
I own a parking garage (only for tenants, tho) It's included in their rent, but we calculate it at around €90.- per month.
Seen plenty but they aren't exactly detailed. Seriously though it's easy to see why New York and other cities like it have huge parking problems. These cities all exsisted as major cities long before the car showed up so it's understandable at the lack of parking.
I own a parking space, or perhaps it is a two car lot (when we pack it tightly). These numbers are all connected to the central business district. RJHJ and Crosis both say it's free, but according to the survey, it is $105 a month in their neck of the woods. Where I work, it doesn't actually cost $460 a month, more like half that, but it's still more expensive than public transit.
Your question was how much do the rest of us pay. We both said zero because it is true for both of us. Nice huge parking lot where I work and I'm sure that Crosis as part of a family buisness has a parking lot. If your question was how much it costs to park in a paid parking spot then we would have referred you back to your own study you posted.
Nah, I know you answered the question I asked, but what I'm really looking for is the extent to which the study matches our anecdotal evidence. The study rate for Boston doesn't match what I've noticed at lots and garages near my office. Just wondering if that's the same for other folks.
From the few times that I've been to downtown Ft. Lauderdale, and I usually avoid it like the plague, the parking seems relatively moderate. I can't, however, recall the exact pricing off the top of my head. It depends on what area you park at. When I park at Ft. Lauderdale beach, it's $6 for all day. But usually I am going someplace like Las Olas, and I always get my parking comped by the movie theater, so...still free, heh.
If I get a parking space included in the rent for my apartment, does it count as subletting if I charge others to use it? I got rid of my car to help save for a mortgage, so the space is empty... I'm fairly close to the city centre so even at £3 a day I could turn some handy extra cash.
Well, to be fair, the only "office area" near the beach parking is if you work in one of those little tourist trap shops, or the National Swimming Hall of Fame!
Might have something to do with how stunningly idiotic it is to build a city that way. Why bother with streets if you don't include some place to parK? Retarded.
That probably includes the congestion charge to drive into the city in the first place. Still fucking ridiculous though.
So the monthly cost to park a car is more than my car payment? Damn.... Other than doctors or lawyers, who can afford housing and a car in Manhattan? Seriously, I would have to make at least 100,000 a year to live the same way I live now. But I feel their pain. Seoul Korea is a lot like New York, but maybe a little more densely populated. If we needed to go downtown for errands and had to drive, we would use two people: one to run the errand, the other to stay in the truck and circle the block over and over until your partner got finished.
D'UR!! What? You think NYC is NEW??? The city was developed long before cars became popular. It wasn't untill the 80's that car registrations skyrocketed.
Do it! Bloke I used to work with rented a driveway from a blind bloke who happened to live next door to the railway station... The station car park was £2.50 a day, he paid the blind bloke £7 a week, they were both happy...
