Obviously I'm not THAT sympathetic to complaints about the price of parking here. But parking IS still pretty pricey when you compare Pittsburgh to comparable cities.
I assume you're citing the Colliers International study to get that $15.28 figure. If so, I think calling that number the "median" national parking rates is incorrect. That $15.28 represents the AVERAGE of median parking prices in Pittsburgh and more than 40 other cities Colliers studied. I was an English major, but as I understand the math, that means that high rates in Boston, NYC and elsewhere brought the average for all cities up.
Colliers cites a $14.60 daily parking rate in Pittsburgh. By comparison, Colliers cites a $10 parking rate in Cincinnati, and a $12.50 rate in Baltimore.
