I’ll take two. It seems like parking in my own remotely located 6 car garage and having my Bentley meet me and whisk me home would be cheaper. After all, I already have my chauffeur driven Bentley and at least 5 collector cars plus my daily driver Porsche. I just need a convenient garage to park them in. Surely I can find something within about 5 miles of Beacon Hill for far less then $750,000. Or I could pay $750,000 for bragging rights to a spot in the Brimmer Street Garage. It must be nice to have that much disposable income. ---

Can you park an old economy car, with an approximate market value of $1500 in a $750k parking spot? Asking for a friend, of course. ---

This is just ONE reason why I never drive into Boston. I park at a T Station like Wellington on the Green Line and once in Boston - their public subway system is pretty good. Plus the city is very walkable. ---

Baltimore is #13 on that list but I have no problem going into the city. It all depends on the destination and when I go. I’ll go to my daughter’s house anytime. She lives in the Hampden neighborhood and it a safe place. She lived in Federal Hill for about 10 years and it used to be as safe as Hampden. It’s not so safe anymore. The last three years she live in Federal Hill was in a condo with an underground garage and two entry doors with electronic locks. Just about anywhere is safe during the day, especially before 2pm. ---

That was a poll, not a study. The poll asked _"Now thinking about some large cities, both those you have visited and **those you have never visited** , from what you know and **have read** , do you consider each of the following cities to be safe to live in or visit, or not?_" You’re posting the results like it was a rating - it was a poll. Big difference. ---

Now Baltimore is #3! I’m still going and avoiding bad areas, especially after 2pm. I have a college friend that is a big train buff. I saw him last May and he asked if it’s safe to visit the B&O Train Museum in downtown Baltimore. I told him it’s quite safe as long as you leave before dark. He lives in Philadelphia and I’m sure that there areas he wouldn’t go into. ---

Your original poll list has Minneapolis at #4 and your new BBC list doesn’t have Minneapolis on the list at all. After all, Minneapolis is what started this discussion. ---

$750,000 for a parking spot in Boston really shows how high demand is in certain areas. Location definitely plays a huge role spots in neighborhoods like Back Bay or Beacon Hill can be almost as expensive as a small condo does this spot have any special features like extra security or reserved access or is it just the location that makes it so valuable? Also do you know if these types of spots actually sell often or do most owners just hold onto them as an investment? ---

[They sell within days](https://www.bostonherald.com/2025/03/12/750000-for-a-parking-space-in-boston-this-parking-spot-is-very-valuable/). The price reflects that. These high-end spots are in the Beacon Hill area where homes median price is $2.5 million and there’s extremely limited parking. Many people who live there don’t drive. Boston is a very walkable city and has decent public transit. ---
