I pay for parking at my condo whether I use it or not because of minimum parking requirements. Could you imagine having to also pay for landline service on your mobile plan?

If it's worth it to have parking I'd gladly pay for it. For the moment I'm renting it out just below my costs because this next generation of renters aren't even bothering to drive much less park. So there is more capacity than need.

To be fair, you're renting a condo. The one type of housing notorious for a large fee, on top of the cost of the mortgage. I guarantee it would be the same fee with or without the parking. In my opinion that's just how the fee is being justified to you.
I don’t think so. If the garage did not exist that is more space for apartments and store fronts that would become available. There is also the noxious gases and flammable liquids that have to be dealt with.
