And yes let’s think of the poor people who have no choice but to drive into Midtown and downtown for work.

Have you ever talked to poor people in NYC?

"poor" is relative. Ever thought about this?

Should i said poorer people who still need a car to drive in NYC to make it more understandable to the hn crowed Oo?!

Who needs a car in NYC? It's an expensive hobby and its time we stop letting drivers externalize their costs.

This does not exist. Parking in the congestion zone starts at $25 for an hour and regularly goes above $100 for an evening.

I'm not discussing if someone should drive.

My only point i'm making is, that this system increases inequality between financial richer people vs poorer ones.

And thats because its an absolut fee and not a relative one.

In New York City, congestion pricing leads to marked drop in pollution
