but the "problem" is not the working folks trying to get to/from work everyday, its the legions of unworking stiffs who have nothing better to do but get in the car by themselves and tool around the city, getting in the way of everyone else who is trying to earn a living...just because they can.

That's why they are called "public" roads. One man's "wasting time" is another's "scouting and familiarization".

what they're gonna do is simply make the island of manhattan a gated community
and permit the workers to enter/exit via mass transit.
my father used to rant on and on about our nyc,esp.after robert moses cleaned out thousands during the constuction of lincoln center....and destroyed entire working class neighborhoods..."this property condemned" etc.
"they want IT only for the rich".........and wait....times square's gonna be a disney land,they're going to clean it out."---- how we used to laugh ,but he was dead serious and very angry..and knew what he was talking about.
