How much?
225,000 USD is what you can shell out if you want to buy a parking spot in Manhattan, according to the New York Times. Hmm, the subway is probably out because it’s too gritty, and of course, mom Habberstad and her delightful offspring couldn’t possibly cycle around town, what with all the traffic. Perhaps they haven’t heard of zipcar, one of many car sharing companies around the world (London has streetcar and zipcar). I doubt it they’ll get much sympathy from their fellow Manhattanites, 75 percent of whom don’t own a car. Of course, the exorbitant price itself has not so much to do with transport as with real estate: if there weren’t any takers for this space as a parking spot, I’m sure you’d have no trouble selling it as an apartment.
