BOSTON — If you thought housing prices were spiraling up again, consider the lowly parking space.

A slab of asphalt, a couple of white lines, it often comes as part and parcel of a home purchase without too much thought. 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.2 s- u: t: c9 y1 @

The winning bidder, Lisa Blumenthal, lives next door in a multimillion-dollar single-family home that already has three parking spots. She told The Boston Globe that the auction was a rare chance to acquire more parking for guests and workers, though she did not expect the bidding to run so high.

It was conducted, in the rain, by the Internal Revenue Service, which had seized the spaces from a man who owed nearly $600,000 in back taxes. In 1993, The Globe said, the man bought them for $50,000.+ f7 N2 P0 y9 ^) a7 {* s4 [4 @

Mr. Cohen, the broker, said he would have expected the spaces to go for about $300,000 — not top dollar, because the first car has to be moved out to move the second.

Still, he said, in high-value markets, parking prices are driven by supply and demand and wealthy people will pay extraordinary prices for a nearby spot, for the convenience.

富人的行为我们穷人就不用去理解了，前段时间还看到个豪宅，只有2间卧室，却有6个卫生间。据说也是为了方便开party的客人
