I like congestion pricing because it keeps poor people off the road so the middle can commute faster /sarcasm

- JumpCrisscross 2y ago> it keeps poor people off the road so the middle can commute faster Poor people aren’t commuting into lower Manhattan by car.
- Qwertious 2y agoPoor people commute by bus/train, which is far higher capacity per lane and is also cheaper. Congestion pricing is a luxury tax. The only downside is tradies who need to move their heavy equipment around the city, except this might be a net-benefit for them because getting stuck in traffic costs them more money in the form of longer turnaround times.
- kkkqkqkqkqlqlql 2y agoRegarding the tradies, could the cost of congestion pricing be tax-deductible or something like that?
- TheCoelacanth 2y agoIt likely would be, just like any other business expense.
