Good — let drivers pay for their share of infrastructure and space required to support their existence. So much space in NYC is taken up by roads and parking, subsidized by people who don’t use it.
- xyzelement 3y agoI am curious whether you actually live in NYC. In the parts of the city this article is talking about, there's no free parking during busy times. Those lanes are reserved for either special parking situations (teachers, police), business (loading/unloading trucks, taxi stands) or turn into driving lanes. It happens that on Sundays and evenings, that capacity isn't needed and is given over to parking. 30 years in NYC, I didn't ever feel this resentfulness that your post implies. I didn't have a car but I benefited from taxis, ubers, deliveries, ability for people to visit, etc etc etc. I assume that people who chose to drive into the city do so because it's their best option. For my lifestyle in NYC, I could always walk to work and taxi/train to get laid, but that's not everyone's situation. The self-righteous hatred of cars and roads and parking is weird.
- nostrebored 3y agoPrice per square foot in Manhattan, a parking spot is a steal.
- xyzelement 3y agoI am not sure what you are comparing to what here.
