This will reduce commerce in the city and thus decrease tax revenues. Once against the stupidity of liberals is on display.
That’ll keep out the riff raff. Right?
So they’ll revert this when the gasoline engines are banned in 2030 because this isn’t about population control, right?
Right?
I guess they decided to finally finish destroying the city.
Good riddance. I will not miss it.
Cities are becoming obsolete. The Democrats are doing every thing in their power to hasten the their demise.
ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK (1981 FILM) where Manhattan becomes a maxium security prison may become a reality.
This will reduce commerce in the city and thus decrease tax revenues. Once against the stupidity of liberals is on display.

Not to mention one more reason to take one’s business in NYC elsewhere.
The NTTA (North Texas Tolling Authority) has had has had a congestion tolling set up for a few years now. It has even re-engineered I-35W in Fort Worth to create congestion in the none-toll lanes.
Because the Democrat party is in fact a Communist party they do not understand basic capitalism. They firmly believe all they have to do is find a way to tax something and the money will just flow into their greedy hands not understanding that Smith’s invisible hand dictates people will decide for themselves if the price is worth it and if not do with out.
Tax driving into the city will effect all business within the city and not in a good way.
What about say doctors driving to a hospital to take care of an emergency patient, will health insurance or ObamaCare cover the $82 fee?
As long as they charge people to get INTO the city and not LEAVE the city, all will be well. Ask all the New Yorkers in Florida who left.
Boosting inflation and devaluing the biden buck
Kathy, the Karen commie, better make darn well sure that at least 10% of this goes to the Big Guy....or else.
They want people to use the subway. That may work for the people in New York but not tourists who want safety.
Biden and Hochul better get it done, quick.
I hear Russia is working on a De-congestion Plan for the same area, and it's going to be Free!
More money to go towards reparations and other racist plans and actions...
Step #2 will probably be to charge an equivalent amount for each commuter-train passenger (Long Island, NY, CT, NJ) entering the city...
However, as a small step to reparations, non-Caucasians and perverts will not have to pay, either driving or commuting by train...
New York New York, it’s a wonderful town...
Actually, it was until John Lindsey (RINO) screwed it up and put it on the path to chaos and destruction...
I am old enough to have many, many fond memories of NYC in the 1940s & 1950s...

“Singapore was the first city in the world to implement an electronic road toll collection system for purposes of congestion pricing. Its use has inspired other cities around the world in adopting a similar system, particularly London’s Congestion Charge Zone (CCZ) and Stockholm’s congestion tax. It has also been proposed in New York City and San Francisco.”

“If a vehicle owner does not have sufficient value in their CashCard (or EZ-Link) when passing through an ERP, the owner receives a fine by post within two weeks. The violator must pay the ERP charges plus a $10 administration fee within two weeks of the notice. Online payment is allowed; listing just the Vehicle Registration Number is required. Otherwise, a penalty of S$70 is issued by registered post to the vehicle owner, which rises to S$1000, or one month in jail, if not settled within 30 days.”

“environmental assessment ‘Finding of No Significant Impact’”
Try looking looking at the sides and rears of cars in Florida.
Eventually only rich people will be able to drive in Da City. I’m sure they don’t want that...no I’m not...
