OK, miss the Reddit hive mind as little as anyone else here, but I laughed.
Some openings are just too easy not to take.

It's honest work.
The United States was dealt its final blow half a century ago at the hands of an Alzheimer's patient by the name of Ronald Reagan.
This is the necrotic stage.
Toronto is in Canada.
And what a lovely hat it is.
It was the US education system that suffered
Toronto isn't even real
"What's Toronto? You must be talking about The City,"
- Toronto man

A human is definitely generating more value than the parking space, it's just most of it is being stolen by greedy capitalists.

They’re making us lose our reasons for living. Life’s too hard and not worth it at this stage. Feel bad for all the babies born everyday. The majority of them are going to have hard lives and grow up too hate every second of it most of the rest of the world.
Turn that sadness into anger, turn the anger in a deep, boiling rage. You know where to direct it, dismantle the whole system little by little. You know who are the guilty ones, we all do
oh, you don't think that the capitalist don't want that? who do you think is going to take power in a revolution?
look back, it is always an authoritarian aristocracy.
if you want to make the world better for the working class, we need to enact reforms, not revolutions.

But have you considered there is also less demand for you than a downtown Toronto parking space?? Ha! Check mate!

I dispute that, you haven't seen me striptease yet

More that it's a matter of negotiation leverage. Rich folk find it hard to outwait other rich folk regarding property prices. Poor folk, though? We have a matter of days before we collapse because of our silly 'human needs' and such, which makes it imperative that we be kept desperate, lest our pay even vaguely reflect the amount of surplus value extracted from us.
So what I am hearing is, not only is that parking space a harder worker than you, that pulled itself up by the ~~boot straps~~ concrete slabs, it is also a more talented negotiator than you. Shame.

If you squat the parking space does that mean you can raise demand for yourself enough to receive higher compensation than the parking space alone?
I was looking at Toronto real estate just for the lulz the other day... 150k$ to buy a parking space... First thing I found surprising is that you can buy a parking space (wtf?) But even more surprising... They sell for more than I paid for my condo 10 minutes from downtown Ottawa 10 years ago 😐
If you could rent it out for the 27 an hour like they stated above you could start seeing a return in as little as 5 years. Sounds like a great investment.
It's an amazing investment because it pays for itself AND its value will increase because managers are idiots and are bringing people back to the office.
Catch being you have to live in Ottawa.
This is the feudal stage of capitalism where the rich recaptured all the real estate and are making tons of profit just sitting on it.
Feudalism>Mercantilism>Capitalism>Feudalism
I don't think I like this sequence.

Don't open a business downtown unless you have a damn good reason for it. It's a massive real estate monopoly.
Yeah, um, we are going to need y'all to return to the office for, um, "productivity" reasons.
Just looked at a studio apartment at my old complex. It's $2,995 a month. About $100 a day, assuming a 30-day month. You need to pay hotel prices just to live in a studio apartment (with a lease) here.
