The parking cost has changed on many streets in the center of Moscow. Instead of 450 rubles per hour, motorists will pay 600 rubles. The editor-in-chief of the magazine "Za Rulem" (Behind the Wheel), Maxim Kadakov, believes that high prices will not solve the problem with parking in the city, and the situation with rising prices leads to the stratification of society.
There are many people in Moscow who are willing to pay even a thousand. That is, there is a stratification of society: parking has long been unaffordable for some, while others will not feel the price increase at all.
According to him, developers thoughtlessly position courtyards in new houses as a territory without cars, but if there are no cars in the yard, then they are around the yard. As an example, Kadakov cites the residential quarters under construction in Fili, in which even at the design stage a minimum of parking spaces is laid down, and there are not enough underground parking lots for everyone.
Believing that fashionable and advanced people buy apartments and do not have a car (or electric car) is a fairy tale from the world of pink ponies.
The journalist explains that the most ordinary two-room apartment with an area of 70 square meters without finishing in such an area will cost approximately 24 million rubles. Kadakov doubts that there is anyone who would give such money for housing, but would not have at least one car per family.
The editor-in-chief of "Za Rulem" recalled that in 2023 Moscow received 11.3 billion rubles from paid parking. For comparison, the budget of Ryazan is about 17 billion rubles.
