New York City Councilman Barry Grodenchik, a Democrat representing part of Queens, worried about the impact to his constituents, many of whom rely on cars to get into Manhattan.

Get a job in Queens... O' that's right Amazon said to take a hike!

I have a new “point of entry” proposal.

Any New Yorker leaving NY to get away from their high-taxes/high-regulations state, and who is looking to ENTER a different low-tax/low-regulation state, must immediately pay $10,000 at whatever entry point they use into those other states. Why? Well, they’re the ones that voted time and again for the idiots who made their lives miserable and very expensive, so, better to stay put and not “f”-up their new states and cities like they did NY/NYC.

This will raise money, but do nothing for congestion.

That’s really going to move a lot of the congestion and street clogging North of 60th street into the upper 60’s 70’s, 80’s and 90’s. Have fun people. Next time you can elect an overt Communist who’ll fix it all for you.

At least Republicans just poo....that’s healthy. Dims seem to be having uncontrolled diarrhea over everything, everywhere. They really smell bad.

Taxis. Imagine that a trip from an airport just cost $12 more.

It seems they’ve finally found a bit of socialism that New Yorkers don’t like.
