asanine

 

asinine

indeed

 

spots in chicago are costly too... average for a garage spot in downtown is about 90k, montly fees for a floater is about 1500...

 

thats so stupid crazy that its both asanine and asinine

 

I think you'd have to be nuts to own a car in New York City.

 

i didn't see any car that was worth more than the parking spot in the video (i don't have the link) , i might have missed something though. it was on frontpage yahoo a couple days ago.

 

if you live in San Fran for long enough, you'll end up paying that in parking tickets any way.

 

Meh...it would be tough. If you got a ticket twice a week, it would take 43 years to get enough $50 tickets (the highest parking ticket in the city for things besides fire hydrant violations) to match $225K. There are about 300 days a year where you can get tickets (assuming you dont do something stupid and park in front of a fire hydrant). Even if you got a ticket EVERYDAY, it would 15 years to build up that much. If you can't find a way to rent a garage or parking spot in less than 15 years, you have issues.

 

Uhhh ok. Little to literal maybe?

 

No - just an interesting exercise. A little too hyperbolic, maybe?

 

No you'd have to be nut to own a car in Manhattan. Other Boroughs are fine.

 

Hell at that cost why are they not building a parking garage, You can make more money per square foot that way.

 

Zoning, etc. Also, renting apartments in a building like that quite possibly could rent for 10K+/mo, or sell for over 10M.

 

I'm glad I have you guys around. Your so much smarter then I
