BOSTON — If you thought housing prices were spiraling up again, consider the lowly parking space., h# E7 t: W3 s, S5 J
% Q7 O3 K) A$ ~) H# T5 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.

“What we’ve seen is the meteoric rise of these prices as the professional class has moved into town,” said Steven Cohen, a Boston-based principal and broker at Keller Williams Realty International. “The Back Bay is almost on a par with Lower Manhattan and Switzerland.”
