These are all lifestyle choices. You don't need to do any of those things. Getting to work or getting around one's own city are not lifestyle options. They're necessities.
Using market-style policies to try to nudge people around only works if there are alternatives they can choose from. In this case for many people there are not.

It's people who have other options or who simply don't really need to be there who have now stopped. This exact same scheme has played out in many other cities already, this isn't new.

- littlestymaar 1y agoYou cannot chose to live in Manhattan unless you have the money to do so. Most people can barely chose their employer as well.
- sagarm 1y agoPeople working _in Manhattan_ can't choose their employer and where to live? Come on. People commuting in from NJ just prefer to live in the suburbs.
- littlestymaar 1y ago> People working _in Manhattan_ can't choose their employer and where to live None of the blue collar workers in Manhattan (the janitors, the restaurant waiters and cook, etc. the massive working class that is needed for white collar work to be able to operate) can live in Manhattan.
