NYC has 8M people and 2M cars. Manhattan has like a 22% car ownership rate, and it's… not the poor people. https://www.hunterurban.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Car-L...

A parking spot will cost you more than rent in some other cities.

This doesn't change my argument at all.

The more money you have, more you benefit from this ruling. Now you can buy a service which was not possible before.

It wasn't possible to drive a car in NYC before congestion pricing? I find that… unlikely.

It wasn't possible to buy reduced traffic.
