Războiul pe 12 metri de asfalt. Orașele din România unde un loc de parcare a ajuns cât o garsonieră • Newsweek România

In Romania, public parking spaces have become a luxury due to unregulated bidding processes, leading to exorbitant annual fees. Cities like Brașov and Bucharest see bids exceeding 30,000 lei, while Iași has monthly bids reaching over 700 lei. This situation reflects a growing disparity, where wealthier residents dominate the bidding, leaving average earners at a disadvantage. Local authorities benefit financially, yet fail to address the parking crisis effectively, as funds are not reinvested in new parking facilities. The transformation of public parking into a competitive auction undermines its accessibility, pushing many drivers towards illegal parking options.
