The rich aren't effected and the poor are. The poor also can't afford to live near work & public transit. As that comes in at a premium.
So this ends up not impacting the rich, but drastically hurts the poor.
- ebikelaw 9y agoThese statements have no relationship to reality. In real New York, the only 3% of households in the lowest income quintile own a car. "The poor" are overwhelmingly reliant on walking, biking, buses, subways, and trains. Car ownership rates are strongly correlated with income. The only income bracket for which the bare majority of households own a car is $500000/year or higher, a group of people who can easily afford to pay a few bucks to drive over a bridge. And still, half of those people are sensible enough to see that they don't need a car in New York.
