Finding metered street parking in the most congested parts of Manhattan? I guess it's possible but wouldn't you waste more in gas circling all day?

>$20 an hour on the east coast?

Sounds pretty par for the course for a parking garage in an upscale part of Boston or DC with a minimum charge.

For convention centers, hospital clinics and other "people who have to come from far away must come directly here and they are likely to have a situation whereby public transit is impractical" type destinations $20 would be cheap.

I am referring to parking garages, apologies. My experiences are mostly NYC (Manhattan, midtown and lower) and Boston's back bay, though in fairness, many places are $25-$35 for multiple hours, which is much cheaper per hour, but pretty annoying if you only need the spot for 20 minutes.
