Apps, other services help city dwellers stash their cars
Many, if not most, urban homes do not include parking. So for those with wheels, finding an affordable home — for the car, that is — can present special challenges.
In many urban apartment buildings, spaces in the garage are sold or rented separately from the apartment itself. Rents for a parking space in expensive cities like New York can cost hundreds of dollars a month, and parking spaces sometimes sell for more than $200,000.
A slew of apps and other online services have appeared to help city dwellers across the country find parking.
