BOSTON — If you thought housing prices were spiraling up again, consider the lowly parking space./ C! m1 p- o8 t9 F

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.% Q' {; S, b i1 W6 T

The auction was held in the back alley where the spaces are situated. 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.

“It’s hard for most of us to get our brains around this,” he said. “But this is a portal into the world of people who are playing by different rules than most of us. Boston is a Brahmin place where reason doesn’t go out the door so easily. |

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
