Wonder how much the property taxes are?
To: Responsibility2nd
In Manhattan's business core, for example, constructing a public garage requires a special permit that is expensive and time-consuming to obtain. Separately, city planning officials may lower minimum parking requirements at residential buildings that have good access to mass transit, exacerbating the squeeze. Government created scarcity has created artificially high prices that could disappear in a moment at the whim of a government official.
There is no reason why they couldn't build high rise parking garages that would provide reasonable parking costs (other than city bureaucrats have determined otherwise).

Amazing. You can buy a pretty decent house in Texas for $125K.
