I usually take the train in to work, but I've been working late this week, so I've been driving. Check out the spot I got today, underground downtown Toronto. Almost 24 hours if I want it that long, for only $22.
Pillar-guarded and Ding-free, Baby! :-)

I think it's cheaper because this lot is hidden and tough to get into. |

Quite cheap really... I've had it cost nearly that much for an hour in DC. |

| I think the most expensive place I've parked in Dallas was $14 (US) for the day, but it's been over 3 years and I'm sure it's gone up now. |

| The point I'm getting at is all the space there is around my car. It's so luxurious that I may never leave. :-) |

Except for the guy that usually gets that space that takes a key to yours for having the audacity to park there. ;-) |

However, if you never leave the parking place you may get tired walking to and from work...lol

It also looks like you're open to someone taking out the right-front door and wheel area by coming between those pillars; maybe one of those carts the maintenance and security folks seem to drive around everywhere...

FYI - Calgary is one of the most expensive in North America and is the highest in Canada by far:

That's because it costs extra to clean up after your horses. |

Nice. Where do you live Strikeslip?
Edit: sorry, forgot you were the OP.
Next time you aren't busy managing the centre of the universe take a moment to work on your Alberta jokes.

Maybe some of your fellow parkers have poor spacial awareness and look at the gap and think "There`s no way I can get my car into that" - looking at the righthand column it seems a few people have rubbed it up a bit. |
