Reply to comment by akmalhot in MTA Pushes Congestion Pricing Back to Second Quarter of 2024 by perspicatic
What's selfish is the amount of money and land devoted to car infrastructure that is the least efficient and most polluting mode of transportation on earth lol. It's questionable if what is paid even comes close to the "real cost". 247 people were killed in traffic crashes last year, has that cost been reflected in the tolls and taxes? I'm willing to bet no.
> well as long as it doesn't affect me fick em
That's funny cause that seems to be the attitude of many car drivers in this city, when we propose anything that might inconvenience them.
> congestion is brought in by people who don't live there
No, congestion is caused by too many cars on the road regardless who is driving. Just cause I live somewhere and drive doesn't mean I'm magically not part of the problem.
> People who live in the zone
The zone also literally has the most subway transit in the entire country, am I supposed to feel bad wealthy residents want the subway and a car but feel inconvenienced driving? I would love to live where they live but wow shocker I can't afford it. Let's not be so greedy here, or overestimate the imagined suffering of people able to not only live in some of the most desirable areas in the city but also afford a car. I don't even live in Manhattan and couldn't afford car payments or insurance even if I wanted, sorry but I'm not exactly gonna weep for this "plight"

Because YOI never leave my city, all convenient modes of getting somewhere that is not on a train line should be destroyed
Stop mentioning other congestion zones when the plan completely deviates from them
Why shouldn't someone who is paying more for the real estate this more in real estate tax get a benefit when jagofds drive into their home area and creat congestion for them ?
Why should I pay the same as a jagofds who lives on NJ not paying property tax here pays to go in? I have to pay to go home? They have to pay to enjoy amenities?
