At that point, you're not really paying for the spot, you're paying for 24 hour enforcement of the spot.

'buying' a parking space can literally mean buying deeded property (that's how your access is guaranteed--you literally own it), complete with its own tax bill and perhaps even a monthly cost (maint, etc) on top of that.

Oh, definitely, but unless it's actually enforced, there's nothing preventing someone else from parking there.

It's the eternal vigilance that's expensive.

You can literally tow any car that's there...

SOMEBODY can, but the property owner isn't there 24/7 to enforce it, somebody has to, which means paying them.

If you're buying the deed aren't you the property owner?

Correct, but it's a parking spot at a resort, you aren't LIVING there, which means every minute you aren't parked there, you're paying to keep the spot open for you.
