NO FREE PARKING. The cost of unreserved parking in DC has gone up by $40 per month according to the latest survey conducted by Colliers. Higher parking fees, reflective of a national trend, show that the U.S. economy is growing and creating more jobs, so with the added demand prices have gone up. Capiche?

In 2005, the median price for parking in DC was $225 per space per month. In 2004 the cost was $265 per month. In fact 20 percent of all garages in DC have waiting lists. No wonder churchgoers in Logan Circle are parking all over the place.

The five most expensive parking districts in the US are; midtown Manhattan ($492), downtown Manhattan ($444), Boston ($425), San Francisco ($350) and Philadelphia ($318) all per month.

The news of higher prices at garages comes on the heels of the Mayor's proposal to increase the for a zone parking sticker.

"In 2005, the median price for parking in DC was $225 per space per month. Just last year the cost was $265 per month."
