The branding of congestion pricing has been so disastrous.
It could have been separated into two very normal things: tolls and parking fees. Every city has those. NYC could have played with those knobs until they got mostly the same effect but there would have never been any nonsense about it being illegal or unconstitutional or whatever car advocates are saying.
Even if this works, it will always be hated and fought by a large minority.
- hombre_fatal 2y agoMeh, car proponents fight against any concession. You’re proposal is no different. Consider how in these comments people are even mad about being unable to park their SUV in a crosswalk (new daylighting policy in SF). Just rip the bandage off already.
- freejazz 2y agoYes, unlike congestion pricing, New Yorkers love increased tolls and paying even more for parking than they did last year.
