No, it's not. It's a toll on entering the area period, whether from highway or from 60th street. You can still fully use the highway, including getting around the area in question. I'm not even from NYC and it took all of two minutes to identify how the congestion relief zone works, who it applies to and who it does not.
You can make the argument that it's unfair or a regressive tax. But that is not an argument for the federal government to make or interfere with, that is local policy. Especially not when clearly using federal overreach as a bludgeon to force them to comply.
- AnthonyMouse 2y ago> It's a toll on entering the area period The issue is that not only some but disproportionately many of the people being deterred from entering the area are from outside the jurisdiction, so their only representation is at the federal level. Notice also that "entering the area" is the thing people not from the area do. If you want to be in Manhattan and you live in Manhattan you're already there.
