It compares parking charges around the world. Toronto is well down the list, although about the same as Chicago which as we know is very important (having replaced New York at some point as the place we desperately want to be)

So we want to be Chicago now? Okay, let's burn the downtown core to the ground and hope that it's rebuilt as the seminal example of the next architectural revolution. It should only take us about a century to become cool. Who's with me?
