i've lived in manhattan since 1993.

never underestimate the stupidity of people in large groups with guaranteed income , i.e. bureaucracy.

having been a cyclist my wholelife, since childhood. i have no faith in the government to implement sensible policy. i have faith in them to tax more. and more , and more. uber and lyft have been DISASTERS for new york, but they were inevitable because of the disaster that was the method by which the tlc was creating artificial scarcity in the yellow tax licensing system.

and congestion pricing? no. it won't work. it wont' make the city more liveable or better. it's just a cash grab plain and simple.
