2) let car owners vote if they want to pay for entering the city or would rather spend some more time in traffic jams but save the money
- trial3 1y agosurely you see the problem with only letting the car owners vote, right? right??
- sleepydog 1y agoThe traffic has a negative effect on more than just car owners--smog, noise, accidents, slower taxis, to name a few. Why should only car owners, who are a minority in Manhattan, vote on a problem that affects everyone?
- tootie 1y agoThe democratic way is we let our elected officials pass laws and that's what happened. You're ignoring the massive externalities that car owners impose on non-drivers. You're also (very Americanly) assuming car owners have special rights of any kind. We could vote to ban driving and parking and just turn all the paved roads into greenspaces. There's no Constitutional right to drive wherever you want.
