Started a new job (i.e. new location and different hours) and realized over the past couple of days that commuting downtown is a PITA, especially during the AM and PM rush hour. I realize this will probably be as bad as it gets (do to the weather and number of cars downtown), but the thought of driving is becoming a lot more appealing (I used to take the bus to my old job; now I'm taking the bus with a one stop c-train ride because of the weather).

How much should I expect to pay for an outdoor stall (not interested in paying $400+ for a heated underground stall)? I've been researching some options:

1) Park in a sketchy apartment building stall (covered but unsecured) about 1.5 blocks away. $200 a month.

2) Park in a private stall (unsecured) about 1.5 blocks away, but next to the Salvation Army building. $225 a month. Probably the best in terms of access in and out of the core.

3) Park in a private stall (unsecured) about 5 blocks away. $130 a month.

Which one would you pick (if any)?
