    The poorer you are the less you can afford paying for it. This is really just a method of opening the streets just for the rich.

    Regressive solution.

      Counterpoint, this funds public transport which is cheaper than car ownership and driving.

      If you are poor, this pushes you to take a train or bus which saves you money.

      The only people this taxes is the rich which makes this a progressive solution.

      Cars in Manhattan were already “just for the rich”.
      It’s simply making the rich think for a moment, before taking their car to the street. Which makes the streets safer for everyone who’s not rich.

      Anyone who takes the bus knows this is bullshit
