Its not a "yet", its an effort that is part of a larger one. LIDAR and facial recognition should not be used. We should be against both. Congestion pricing hit

Congestion pricing hits the lowest earning individual the highest. Congestion pricing should follow measurable improvements to public transit, focusing on the word "improvements".

I’m not sure why being able to drive a car into the Manhattan CBD deserves special treatment. It also already has an excellent subway system that millions take daily. You can’t means test virtually everything
- llamaimperative 2y agoJust set the fees to be a % of income + % of net worth. If you want to skip the complexity, making it a % of the current KBB value of the car that earned the ticket will be >99% just. A few rich people driving shitboxes around Midtown to avoid expensive fees sounds like a fine outcome to me.
- LeafItAlone 2y ago> Congestion pricing hits the lowest earning individual the highest. Can you tell me more? In most places, that does seem obvious. In NYC, it seems less obvious to me. The friends of mine who complaining about congestion pricing rules are the upper/upper middle class folks who have not been on public transportation since Bloomberg’s first term. My friend who are lower income use public transportation everywhere.
- pempem 2y agoIn NYC there's a lot of public transportation however we're seeing its proposal in LA and other poor public transportation cities. In spaces where you need a car to get around it can be very hard. A bus here in southern california can take an hour when the drive takes 15 minutes or less.
- LeafItAlone 2y agoSure. NYC is certainly unique (in the USA) in the regard.
