I purchased a vacant lot downtown and a couple of months ago I turned it into parking spaces, there are various clubs and bars close to the parking lot, so I can charge $15 for parking! I can charge $20 for parking on the weekends, as long as I have a security guard to watch the lot.
I’ve truthfully never had anyone complain about the price they have to pay, when I purchased the vacant lot and turned it into parking, I had a supplier come to the lot to paint parking spaces! Everything had to be exactly perfect and within the limits for the city.
I had to keep each face exactly eight and a half feet apart and I had to prepare separate parking for handicapped customers, by law I was required to have a single handicap spot for every 10 proper spots that I gave. I hired a night guard and I purchased a small mobile building for the guard to rest inside of at night. I did not want the guard to lay outside in the rain and I knew it was crucial to have a locale where the guy could keep a till for the parking meters, and unluckyly, I drove by the parking lot last Tuesday night and the guard was sleeping inside of the mobile building. I walked all the way up to the guard shack before the guy was alerted; He could have been shot in the back and no a single would have seen anything. I am beginning to think that having the guard inside of a portable building at night might not be the best thing.
