Meaning the slab of concrete sold for $3,500 per square foot.

At that price, you might as well live in your car.

Just for comparison, in mid-2016, apartments in New York City went for an average of $1,750 per square foot.

This sale broke the record price for a parking spot in Hong Kong.

Last year a spot sold for $650,000.

Although it is possible to buy an apartment in Hong Kong for around the same price, it is known to be the world's most unaffordable housing market, according to research firm Demographia.

This whopping price seems almost unbeatable. Well it is.
