$14 a day seems reasonable to have a safe place to live.
If you’re making $46,000 a year in Frisco, you are living in your car.

If you make $46,000 a year in SF you are living in a tent near the base of Coit Tower.

According to a firm that measures access data from office buildings and businesses about 21% of San Francisco office chairs are occupied on any given day. (In New York it is 24%.) Or 79% of office chairs in large office buildings are cold.

IF there is a lot of commuter automobile traffic at this time, it must be workers who can't avoid coming in to work who are trying to avoid contracting COVID on mass transit. This late in the pandemic, most office workers still seem to be working from home.

And this late in the pandemic, I don't think these numbers are consistent with the long-term survival of large cities.

If I were the mayor of a large city, I'd be doing everything that I could to ENCOURAGE high-income office workers to come in to the office to work (like FREE parking for Porsches and Mercedes!), but they don't seem to understand the goose that lays the golden eggs.

Don’t you make that much now if you quit your job and get unemployment and any other welfare benefits you can pick up?

Also how would they know how much you make?

They imagine that they have a "legitimate interest" which overrides your "so-called right to privacy."

New York City is currently considering a daily charge of $14 for motorists who enter certain parts of Manhattan.

BFD !

I currently pay 13.75 (You would more if you don't have EZ-Pass.) to enter Manhattan (all of it).

ML/NJ

The point is to hit the middle class. Anyone poorer than that probably doesn’t drive anyway. People making ten times that amount won’t be hurt much. They are leftists and the left doesn’t believe in having a middle class.

Driving out the last of the middle class. At this point really just a mop up operation.

It is a toll. Only in Frisco the wastrels in charge are pushing/pandering it by labeling it only for the rich. And, you’d have to be an idiot to believe that $46k is rich. Even $146k would fail that test out thisaway. Just watch, anyone kicking in a political contribution will get a waiver, just like Obama care provided for hundreds of corps.

That is different, still however vast majority of the time they are elected in fairness, and thus my point still stands, harsh but it is the brutal truth.

That makes a lot sense; without its international airport and transit hub, Newark NJ is nothing. It has hospitals and schools, but other nearby safer areas have both; females in particular shun the schools.
