KBED hangar rates going up up up up (Massachusetts)

After a 50% t-hangar rate increa$e ~July 2003, followed by a mere 10% increa$e
Feb 2005, Ma$$port i$ once again raising rate$. Thi$ time they are gouging
u$ for 20%, with the rate up to $606/month beginning 1 Aug.

The J row went from $353/month to $459/month to $505/month to $606/month.

If there was any doubt about massport being bugsmasher-hostile...

Oh, and they want to add a $100 non-refundable fee to be on the waiting list
for a hangar, renewable every two years. cute. real cute.

And, yeah, I'm going to dump the t-hangar, saving the 5+ AMU per year.
I can get a tie-down for $50/month. Having a hangar is nice, but no way
is it worth that much.

Bottomline: stay away from KBED. there are plenty of other much
friendlier airports in Eastern Massachusetts.
