Free parking outside the $1,000/mo garage
This $1,000+/mo. parking space (without the 18+% parking tax! but one Curbed commenters calls bullshit) on the Upper East Side has been bouncing around the NYC blogosphere, and Curbed commenter low baller just about sums up my thoughts on the matter:
And people howl because street parking is going up to $1 / hour (but of course free after 7pm and mostly free all the time off the avenues)?
So let me get this straight – Upper East Side apartment: $4,000 a month, parking $1,000 a month, parking spot outside said apartment free, or at most $1 an hour.
And oh, how they howl!
The notion of “free on-street parking” is amazingly deeply ingrained, isn’t it? Even appeals to grade-school concepts like “supply” and “demand”, which the subject might easily grasp in other contexts – are most often powerless in its wake.
