- sonnyblarney 8y agoMaking the tax different based on the type of car is not the kind of 'complexity' that risks the nature of the tax. In fact, that's pretty easy. Getting 'right of way', building permits, hiring firms, planning massive construction projects involving 'new technology' etc. etc - this is 'complicated' beyond the threshold that I would trust the NYC government. But some kind of tax on cars is within feasibility.
