Here's another dollars-and-cents measurement in which Tampa is less than economically competitive: downtown parking.
In its ninth annual parking rate survey, the real estate company Collier International said Tampa's average daily rate of $15 exceeds costs in rival cities such as Atlanta, Charlotte, Jacksonville, Raleigh and Dallas.
Of that group, Jacksonville was cheapest at $8.70. Dallas was next lowest at $10.50. It could be worse. Midtown Manhattan charges an average of $44 to warehouse your wheels.

I always thought the prices in downtown were reasonable. I never parked in the garages, but have risked parking my car in one of them empty lots for only $3. If it is $15, I say the price should be dropped to around $10.
