I’m sure he goes on to say much more stupid stuff.
But he is right. you have to be quite wealthy to drive into Manhattan for work.
Well they’ve done it, as predicted, moved “the rich” down into the middle class.
Thanks Gov. Cuomo, i’ll make damn sure the next time I have to spend a week working in NY city i’ll be getting my accomodations in NJ.
That should save me a nice little chunk of change.
It’s like instituting a phone tax. Only very rich people have phones.
The power to tax is the power to destroy, comrade.
I wouldn’t say I’m “rich,” but a friend and I drove into Manhattan about 5 years ago...actually stayed in a hotel near Korea Town/MSG. Tolls and parking are outrageous. I can’t tell if they’re designed to keep people from coming into the city, encouraging use of mass transit, or just a craftily-designed way to maximize revenue for the city. It’s Democrat politics at its finest...they get a cut of every piece of business, every transaction.
More class warfare. It never ends.
Like himself.
Sad to think that the city of my birth and most of my childhood has fallen so hard in just 10-20 years.....
I have to admit that, though I might disagree with him technically, he touches on why I will NEVER drive in Manhattan. Then again, I have zero desire to ever go there - or Hong Kong, for that matter.
Republicans who routinely get destroyed at the ballot box for being “elitist” aren’t 1/10 the elitist THIS guy is!
MFr is tone deaf. Beginning to think Mario hated the boys...
What happens when you run out of “rich” people.
Only stupid people would want to drive into Manhattan.
Idiot. Far from rich and I’ve driven into Manhattan many times. Not fun.
Keep it up Cueball. The “rich” are leaving in droves.
I make a trip to New York’s Finger Lakes every other year as a family vacation and that is as far East as I ever intend to go.
I have been to Boston twice. Once for personal reasons and once for business. Those two trips were enough to teach me that the average East coaster is bonkers.
Socialism has ruined the East Coast and it is metastasizing to the rest of the country.
I think I will go ahead and begin the mourning of my country. I was raised in the 60’s and 70’s. The culture that I grew up in is gone and the corpse of that culture is quickly decaying away.
On the East Coast that corpse in nothing but yellowing bones.
Cuomo said the plan will: “will endure to the benefit of Manhattan real estate interests”.
Typical of American “progressives”, their policies (helping jam more and more folks into Manhattan high rise apartments), no matter what the appeal is to the poor and middle class, it is really about benefiting some rich constituents of the progressives (like academia or the health care industrial complex, or in this case the Manhattan real estate interests).
Evil, stupid and ugly. Cuomo is the real face of the Democratic Party.
