Fresno is the fourth cheapest place in the nation to rent a monthly parking space, according to a study by real estate firm Colliers International. Fresno tied with Santa Rosa at $55 a month, and Bakersfield comes in as the rock bottom cheapest place to park at $40 per month.

I’m guessing that the fact that we don’t have that many parking garages — except for downtown — plays into this a bit, but hey, it’s one more positive thing about living in our city.

And this is one category where I’m glad we haven’t caught up to our big-city counterparts. People parking in midtown New York City pay $585 a month. And people in London pay the equivalent of a whopping $1,166.87 per month.
