Also, where the fuck is he finding a place to park on E 79th St. anyway?
See, this is another thing that this congestion pricing will help alleviate: driving around several blocks for an hour, looking for a spot, wasting fuel and polluting.
There should be congestion parking charges, too
No, better to just remove all the street parking spots.
They can do it slowly. One per day.
That would take about 8,220 years. There are approximately 3 million on-street parking spaces in NYC.
I would be happy with a faster transition. Maybe one space per street per day?
Maybe one entire block per day. Why go slowly?
And do it during the day, without notice, and tow the cars now illegally parked.
Does NYC have minimum parking spaces in new buildings? I know other cities do, to the detriment of mass transit.
