The solution to this problem is to upzone that land so that more people can live there. If more people wind up living close to their jobs, that's a good thing.

- deathanatos 8y agoYou explicitly mention SF in your other comment; I agree that proper zoning and getting people to live near to where they work is a better solution (or, better mass transit in lieu or in addition to that), but attempting to convince SF and the Bay Area that has been an uphill, losing battle thus far. But that upzoning is a better solution doesn't negate the argument that congestion pricing hurts the wrong set of people.
