This is amazing.

The *only* problem I have with congestion pricing is that basically what it means is that wealthy people who don't care about any number of dollars with less than four digits on a given day just get free range.

I know that NYC has maybe the best commuting infrastructure in the country, so maybe I'm inventing a problem, but it still pains me that it effectively makes life just that much more luxurious for the ultra-wealthy.

I assume I'm thinking about this wrong; please feel free to suggest a way to frame it such that I might be able to appreciate the obvious improvements without thinking of the inconvenience felt by many and the wonderful feelings that the *illionaires will feel driving around without the hassle of being held up by the plebiscite.

Honestly, I would really appreciate that; I don't like the taste of these sour grapes.

I am one of millions of regular working class folk who live and/or work in the congestion zone (in my case, both) and this change has been a huge and instantaneous improvement in my quality of life, and I am not the only one. Less noise, less pollution, safer streets. It's a big win for many of us, and it's almost impossible to describe the magnitude of the impact to anyone who isn't here to see it and experience it. It feels like a miracle.
