I tried to get my boss to buy a parking pass for the garage in Harrisburg so I don't have to fill out an expense report every day and he complained because it's $150 a month.
Rent in Manhattan for a decent place would be around $5k a month, yes that is correct. And I am not taking near central park, but in a nice area none the less. I figure two cars, $500 a month for a monthly lease to park. I might actually be low on that number. It costs about $40 to $50 a day to park in Manhattan garages. Depending on where you are, some are cheaper. Some areas, you can find 24 hour street parking, so maybe one car could be street and only get on garage lease, depending on what area of Manhattan the apartment would be in.
Somehow I'm going to use this in my negotiations with my boss about the parking pass so I don't have to pay $15 a day at the Walnut Street Garage. I also want the pass because that garage is right along restaurant row and I can use it for after hours stuff too.
