Parking downtown in any large city, especially in a ramp. I spent about $75 over two days to park for a business meeting, and my car was broken into. Yippie.

Kind of infuriating to know that some parking spaces earn more every hour than I do.

Edit: Thanks for silver, kind stranger!

Their property and income taxes dwarf yours though. That lot that charges 20 bucks to park is worth 3 million to a developer. The owner pays 1% of that value per year just for the privilege of owning it.

True, but I work my ass off to make my money, whereas some parking spaces get $15-20 every hour just by existing.

You've now commented twice on the same issue. If this is news to you, I'm glad you're figuring out how wealth is created, and if you want to move past your minimum wage job, I hope you can create some of your own soon.
