Should charge $5,000 a year for on-street parking as well. Getting the private automobile out of NYC would make the city so much better for the 95% of the people who live there without owning one.

How will they collect the fees and how will they enforce it? A whole system will need to be installed and staffed. Electronic tolls?

What you fail to understand, just like a liberal, is that the world doesn’t revolve around you and what you want. Those people that clog up your streets are the entire reason why NYC exists. Discouraging them by adding taxes and fees will end up costing your city revenue. Sure it may end up being more convenient for you, right?

UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES...cost of living in the area will go up. For example, wait until we see the impact on the cost of catching an Uber (if they are allowed), “gypsy”, or other ride to or from the impacted areas of Manhattan. Hey...I’ll drop you off here...six blocks from your destination in the rain.
