去年，在波士顿，前后式的露天双车位拍卖了56万美元。买家就住在旁边，已经有了3车库，这两个车位是请客时用的。

But in cities like Boston, parking spaces are at a premium, and prices have been climbing for years. In certain neighborhoods, the price of a home can go up $100,000 or $200,000 if parking is included, which it often is not, only adding pressure to the supply and demand crunch that drives prices up further.* H$ @8 z! v" V& P# H
