#NYC #congestionpricing may actually happen. Ridiculous.

It's incredibly unfair.

I already live in #Manhattan outside the designated area. So I *wouldn't* be too impacted?

Don't talk to me about London,Singapore or the environment. Until NYC can get its mass transit accessible to all, this is premature.
