    Good on you, New York.

    That it makes life more inconvenient for wealthy people in a way that they absolutely hate is just icing on the cake.

      Sadly, it probably makes their lives easier too , for most of them - at least the ones traveling in the zone. They can afford it or the cab fare, and the journey is faster.

      The ones holding oil stocks won’t even notice the immaterial difference unless it somehow fixes transit and housing density in the rest of the USA (Narrator: . . . ) .

      The only real inconvenience would probably be for low income people who have to drive and can’t swap to subway or bus for some reason - I’d think probably not very many of those.

      Maybe people owning car parking in manhatten suffer so that’s probably a win.

        I totally get that the money they have to pay is inconsequential for them.

        But it still pisses them off. And I love it.
