Before I sold my condo, I had rented out one of my parking spaces for good money ($400/month). I saw a flyer in the lobby by someone looking for a spot, and they said $400 was what they paid the last person. It was a total no brainer, I just parked my motorcycle and scooters at my mom's.
Then I was in an accident and rented out the second spot for a few years for another $400/month, and it was frankly obscene that I could rent two parking spaces for that much. But I guess that's what happens when the majority of the units came with one parking space, and little to no street parking. This wasn't even downtown, but west by Shaganappi golf course.

Ditto. It's one thing if it's just one party and one vehicle, but adding any additional parties to the equation just makes it too big of pain in my ass - especially if whomever I'm going with is older, has young kids, suburbanites, or anyone who's unaccustomed to not being able to park a stone's throw away from the door.
I have noticed Inglewood is more friendly for this. There's a large parking lot just south of the Bow (across 12th from Rouge) that always has ample parking. I'm honestly surprised its still free.
