Parking in a city can be a problem. It’s not just about finding parking—it’s about finding the right parking. Sometimes, there’s a $10 parking spot only a block away from a garage that charges $50!
So how do you know the best place to park—especially if you’re new to an area, as I was a few years ago, or if you’re traveling and aren’t familiar with a city?
For me, the answer is a smart and completely free user-submitted database of parking spots and rates. It’ll

President Donald Trump announced, back on February 25, that his administration would soon debut a “gold card,” an immigration program that would allow wealthy foreigners, for the low, low price of $5 million, to become lawful permanent residents of the United States.
