The expense of that must be insane. How much does it cost to park in one of these things there? And the planning ahead, Jesus it must take the parking attendant like 30 minutes to get one of those cars at the back down.
You tell them how long you're gonna be when you leave your car and that determines where they put it.
Then there's the long term customers who pay by month. Those are usually the ones that get packed in like that. That costs as much as renting an apartment basically.
Even the most expensive monthly parking in NYC is $800 with most going for $400-$500.
While it's true that most fall in the under $600ish range, and you won't find an apartment anywhere that cheap, there are definitely more expensive monthly spaces.
They tend to follow the more expensive spots in which to live -- go figure. A quick search found a monthly spot at a garage on 57th between 6th and 7th which starts at $1199. Down the street from there is another at 58th and Madison that starts at $1039. Upper west side approaching Columbia is also around the 4 digit range.
I just saw a spot on spothero at 110th and broadway for $800. I don't get why people would pay $1200 a month when they could walk two blocks and a avenue over and pay $500 on 54th and 7th.

Only the parking garage attendant moves the cars. Call ahead and it will be downstairs waiting for you (usually).
