That's the hot mess happening in Chicago right now. In a 75-year, $1.15 billion lease between the City of Chicago and Morgan Stanley, the bank gets to operate and earn revenue from 36,000 parking meters and several parking structures in the city. Not only that, the city just significantly increased parking meter rates and expanded hours and enforecable hours--including Sundays, some holidays and 24/7 in downtown. The city still gets to enforce and keep revenue from parking tickets, but Morgan Stanley can do supplemental enforcement in parking garages.
