No shit. You hit the nail right on the head with that one. The new parking lots in San Diego by Petco Park in the Gaslamp Quarter, are $15-$20 a pop.

Worst part about the whole thing:

THEY ARE ALWAYS FULL.

So the parking lots are most likely the best business down there, even if they are the 6-8 story parking lots. Think about it, even if it was only making enough money to cover a monthly land payment of $200,000, it pays for it self in the end, and the land under it has appreciated in value over that time.

Man I wish I had 10-15 mil to do something like that. Good call.
