I won't say there's no reason for the city to be in the municipal garage business, but I don't think there are especially important reasons. Basically the reason would be to provide a kind of parking at subsidized rates that the market wouldn't provide, such as expensive to create underground parking. I'm all for the expensive to create underground parking, if we must have parking, but I don't really see a problem with
selling it either. Just, you know, sell it for what it's actually worth.
