BOSTON — If you thought housing prices were spiraling up again, consider the lowly parking space., l5 y' I$ _. F' c, A# @* i
* l* Y9 g ^8 F7 P+ U6 hA 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 $200,000 if parking is included, which it often is not, only adding pressure to the supply and demand crunch that drives prices up further.' a, {$ w) _% k% Q- c

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.
