Pricey Parking Spot In Brooklyn on the Market for $300,000

BROOKLYN (AP/Hamodia) —

“They are really becoming … investment opportunities,” Kite said, “and it’s a shame because it robs people who live in Park Slope of a place to keep their car.”

“This is the Brooklyn we live in today,” Hollar said.
