Transportation Alternatives message to Southeast Queens residents: you'll pay congestion pricing and like it

Southeast Queens population is predominantly people of color and immigrants who rely on cars to get around New York City for work, chores and leisure. Danny Harris says the quiet part out loud about the inherent racism and discriminatory nature of the congestion pricing tax and apparently he does not want them coming to his borough of Manhattan anymore without paying admission.

With all the fake climate cult rage tweets about gas cars and gas stoves, it may be hard to believe, but climate change wasn't always so polarizing.

How about, "you'll take a subway or bus and like it!".

Property was cheaper in these locations because they didn't have public transportation. That's why people chose to live there. Having said that, it's well pas time that the city built more express subway and buses to service these areas. We need another "communist" president like Dwight Eisenhower to start building a 21st century subway, train and bus service.
Too bad the corporate right wing nuts block every type of public infrastructure project.

In Brooklyn they are putting neighborhood loading zones on McGuiness since they can't mandate underground loading zones in those small buildings. Also, remember what Giuliani did in Rockefeller Center (when the lefties all protested dressed as cows), instead of redirecting pedestrian traffic above or below ground, he redirected it sideways, to the middle of the block - in order to allow emergency vehicles to go through unimpeded. The lesson in all this, is if there is a will, there is a way to fix things without messing other people up with congestion pricing.

Talk about all these millennials from out of town. A friend of mine was in a homeless shelter because of a domestic dispute and was being redirected to another shelter. The cops left him without any possessions, so he asked how was he going to get there. They told him to jump the turnstile. These freaks were working for HHC Bellevue! And for them, they tell you go here, go there, it's easy, take the subway. Like the subway is a transporter from Star Trek and doesn't take time to get places. But you have to blame their cock a mamie schoolmarms who tell them to do things to be graded "for effort" instead of results. So much of our society seems stuck playing patty cakes instead of doing REAL work.

No, dummy. The point is the hypocrisy of Progressives who bleat all day about "white supremacy" and "racism" and then turn around and stick a knife if the backs of the people they pretend to care about.

NPC_translator said...

"Property was cheaper in these locations because they didn't have public transportation. That's why people chose to live there."

The correlation between public transportation and property values is by no means consistent. And people choose to live in places for a myriad of reasons, not just "cheaper."

"Having said that, it's well pas time that the city built more express subway and buses to service these areas."

Because of Left-wing nuts, building anything new is virtually impossible.

"We need another "communist" president like Dwight Eisenhower to start building a 21st century subway, train and bus service."

What does the Federal Government have to do with New York City transportation services? It is the corruption, incompetency and stupidity of the mostly Democratic politicians and public administration people who run New York that prevents workable solutions from happening.

"Too bad the corporate right wing nuts block every type of public infrastructure project."

When was the last time "corporate right wing nuts" were in charge of anything in New York? And buses don't require "infrastructure" projects.

You consistently display the intelligence level of an ill-informed high school student.

Yes they should. EV's still kill people, cause excess traffic and pollute. All car owners should pay much more in taxes. They need to cover the cost of the pollution and deaths they cause. They all need to pay for their free car storage.

As a tax-paying American, I demand that we stop subsidizing car owning freeloaders!

Teddy Roosevelt was an envrionmentalist.
Read the newspapers on Proquest and you will see
T-R-ump is an exact clone of TR.
Carbon Taxes came from Jack Kemp
and the Heritage foundation.
So did Congestion Pricing.
So did Common Core.
But liberals always take a good idea and
distort it so it only benefits them
and messes up all others.
The liberal congestion pricing plan
looks nothing like the bill Dubya signed.
Liberals have a warped aspergian way
of reinterpreting reality
to match their fantasy.

It doesn't matter if you believe in global warming or not. Reducing smoke is a good thing, less illness, no catastrophic warnings or delusions. Traffic congestion is bad. Standing cars smoke more. Ambulances don't get there on time. But Congestion pricing means many things and there are many solutions. The car haters only focus on those that satisfy their ideology and career plans. Folks need to get practical and leave the big words at the door. So they killed westway forty years ago. Anyone know how the snail darters are doing? Case in point.

@"“The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.” Margaret Thatcher

It's no wonder that so many people from Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and Northern England hated her so much. If she hated "other people's money" so much, why then did she bring in the "Poll Tax", a tax on every living breathing adult, regardless of income or situation?

If you know anything about her, you'd know that this "Poll Tax" was her downfall.

Some day, you may be able to come up with an original thought of your own. Until then, you'll always be, the "Quotation Drone".

They HATE rewards for individual innovation and work ethic. Anyone can improve their station in life by hard work or coming up with a new idea. Does capitalism benefit the rich?
No, it is not true. For many decades, the myth that in a capitalist country the rich become richer while the poor become poorer has been spreading all over the world – despite the fact that a quick glance over the facts would show that the economically freer the country is, the less poor it is.

It's obvious the dumbocrats don't like POC. Who do they think they are hurting with their policies? Soft on crime policies leave black neighborhoods vulnerable to more violence, congestion pricing affects POC more since they tend to be cab drivers and it will just bring in more traffic to predominantly black and Hispanic neighborhoods since everyone will try to drive around the congestion pricing tolls, then they want to ban gas stoves which alot of restaurants rely on for flavor of the food and they will make POC buy electric stoves or make their apartment buildings change every stoves in the building which I'm sure they will probably pass the cost down to the tenant somehow. Then they want to ban gas cars so the POC will now be forced to spend even more money switching out their cars and they are always complaining about the "wealth gap" but meanwhile they want them to buy expensive electric cars and electric stoves. And all this electricity im sure will cost more than gas so they will have to suffer with that too. Dumbocrats don't care about POC at all.
