A
recent post on the r/f***cars subreddit has left many in stitches, thanks to an absurd advertisement for a parking spot listing at $167,500. The first response summed it up nicely: "Anyone who buys this has more money than sense."

    The discussion highlights the challenges of driving in Boston, which is ranked fifth-worst in the Americas and 12th-worst in the world by the INRIX Global Traffic Scorecard, with drivers wasting around 79 hours per year. The city's notorious traffic congestion is further exacerbated by pollution from vehicular emissions, which cause an estimated 342 premature deaths annually.

    Boston's confusing streets only add to its reputation as a nightmare for drivers. However, some Redditors suggested that the high cost of parking might actually be a blessing in disguise. "Parking costing [$167k] is exactly what makes it a walker's paradise," one post noted. With traffic congestion and pollution being major concerns, walking or biking within the city might be a more efficient and environmentally friendly option.

    While a carless Boston may seem like a distant dream, some conciliatory suggestions from the community offer a glimmer of hope for a more sustainable future.
