    A human is definitely generating more value than the parking space, it’s just most of it is being stolen by greedy capitalists.

      In Soviet Russia, parking space never earn more than human.

      But mostly because the waiting list for a Lada was 10 years long.

        oh, you don’t think that the capitalist don’t want that? who do you think is going to take power in a revolution?

        look back, it is always an authoritarian aristocracy.

        if you want to make the world better for the working class, we need to enact reforms, not revolutions.

      1. I dispute that, you haven’t seen me striptease yet

      2. More that it’s a matter of negotiation leverage. Rich folk find it hard to outwait other rich folk regarding property prices. Poor folk, though? We have a matter of days before we collapse because of our silly ‘human needs’ and such, which makes it imperative that we be kept desperate, lest our pay even vaguely reflect the amount of surplus value extracted from us.

        So what I am hearing is, not only is that parking space a harder worker than you, that pulled itself up by the boot straps concrete slabs, it is also a more talented negotiator than you. Shame.

    I was looking at Toronto real estate just for the lulz the other day… 150k$ to buy a parking space… First thing I found surprising is that you can buy a parking space (wtf?) But even more surprising… They sell for more than I paid for my condo 10 minutes from downtown Ottawa 10 years ago 😐

      If you could rent it out for the 27 an hour like they stated above you could start seeing a return in as little as 5 years. Sounds like a great investment.

    Just looked at a studio apartment at my old complex. It’s $2,995 a month. About $100 a day, assuming a 30-day month. You need to pay hotel prices just to live in a studio apartment (with a lease) here.

    Let me ask you all something: does an increase in demand for something raise the price for it, or decrease the price?
