A Solution to Crowded Parking Lots

[VaderTT]

There are still craploads of those in NYC as posted above.

Where in New Orleans? I've been there several times and don't recall seeing them.

I guess I'm thinking of the elevators, they have those at the airport.

[sosoe]

A lot in New York too

[4EyedTurd]

I wonder what the major downfall of those were

[slow99]

SF has some too ... whoops, I mean we're clearly just dumb now.

[ram57ta]

Dont know if it was mentioned but they have those in NYC too

No, we're obviously just stupid and Danny is a genius. You should forfeit your mensa card to him.

Careful, JoDee will get on your ass for not capitalizing Mensa!

I originally had it in all caps, but wanted to drive him nuts.

Texas has ridiculous amounts of space, you dont need that shit.

Here in LA, I dont even want to go anywhere because parking takes nearly as long as it does to drive to the location, unless of course you want to pay for valet.

California has ridiculous amounts of space.

Oh, i am sorry totally forgot some of you need me to blues clues it down, the living space is much more dense here comparatively and it sucks since everyone wants to live near the coast. Paying $180 for a parking spot a month, plus $2000 for a 800sq ft apartment that has no modern amenities ( unlress you count electricity ) against having a 2 bedroom 1200 sq ft apartment with 2 cars, for $950 when i left. But yeah, I guess Dallas could use some goold ol' fashioned car lifts for those massive parking space problems.

ironically the building I'm moving to was originally a car lift parking garage which is now turned into a loft.

"Accordingly, Beelman designed the garage around a huge freight elevator that could lift two cars at once."

Not really. Yes, it's a large state. But a huge amount of it is not inhabitable, or not easily inhabitable. LOTS of desert and mountains, not plains as far as you can see in all directions like TX.

heh, besides the parking garages which are a bitch sometimes....I know what you're saying...

Curious did you account for the cost of living difference before moving out there? I know a couple of folks who would love to head back to LA and some other areas - but don't want to lose the disposable income.

He said space, not specified. I needed the blues clue thing. With the way CA acts and their budget issues, should be empty by now.

Yes, but it still doesnt prepare you for the mind change.

I make good money and I have a gf for secondary revenue, but when it comes down to it, living 31 years in Texas at more than HALF the living cost, you're just never prepared for the mind swap. Even with my rent right now costing $1800 a month ( with a parking spot ), I still only pay 23% of my total income in rent, but I still feel like I am getting fucked.

I'm not sure how to explain it, I'm not broke, I have plenty of money, but that feeling of writing a check to cover rent is like OH FUCK THERE GOES MY BANK ACCOUNT every single fucking time.

Everything else costs about the same. Food might even be a little cheaper. Gas is more expensive because they add some bullshit to lower pollution. They do WAY more fucking lobbying out here which is fucking annoying. Shit like DOWNTOWN IS HISTORICAL LANDMARK, which means that apartment buildings cant "deface" their exterior by upgrading their windows. What does that mean? You fucking hear EVERYTHING outside because they have windows from the 40's still installed.

I miss Texas, then I go outside and I'm like, ok its not so bad. Imagine that one week in fall and one week in spring, the weather is pretty much like that every single day, and that's no joke.

Oh, and to see a SHIT fucking house in the ghetto going for $500k, I tell my coworkers, $500k for a house in Texas is minimum 5,000 sq ft and includes strippers, 3 car garage, and a pool, they just dont believe you.
