Parking Lot Tycoon

OK ignore the IP infringement there :p

The general idea came to me while grumbling about parking. Why not have a game in which you are a parking lot owner? Maybe start off small with a tiny self-service lot that you have to collect money from every night. From there you can move up to gated lots, gated garages, monthly parkers, even high tech elevator/fully automated garages! Could take place in a variety of cities, either real or made-up. Keep the economics of the cities simple, such as high crime/low crime, high land value/low land value, certain types of business (commercial, industrial, service) and so on. Not sure what kind of 'disasters' could befall a parking lot, other than perhaps the more high tech ones. I guess mechanical failure, untrustworthy employees, inclement weather (only uncovered lots, minimal increase for covered ones).

Side note: the built in spell-check doesn't work well :p
