I live in Midtown Manhattan and can barely afford to live here as it is. All my my expenses will be going up because of this and I am now forced to move. I wanted to live close to my job but that’s now impossible.
Peter supported: Repeal and Defeat Congestion PricingWhen you live in the zone and have children who play sports on Randall’s Island there’s no choice but to drive there, otherwise you risk your children getting mugged. This is no exaggeration, it actually happened to my child. Congestion pricing to residents is wrong! Congestion pricing for small businesses is wrong! Congestion for the economy of the city is wrong!
Lisa supported: Repeal and Defeat Congestion PricingI work for the city in the congestion relief zone and now am forced to pay an additional toll, just so I can get to work comfortably? My job does not reasonably allow me to take public transportation.
A. supported: Repeal and Defeat Congestion PricingMy wife & I live on Christopher St just off the West side highway , we are living on on social security in our down size apt, my wife had a stroke a little more than 14 yrs ago, relays on me to take her out mostly in a wheelchair but we walk of use the bus to get around NYC, and occasionally we take a ride to visit our grandchildren in Long Island. My car is not parked on the street as we have parking in my building. My wife & I are not contributing to the congestion of the city by making our way home on the west side highway turning onto Christopher St where we then park in our garage just short of Washington St.
The cost of everything is already high and the congestion pricing will make it more costly for no good reason.
My vote is not going to be for any candidate that is pushing for congestion pricing. Enough is Enough!
Glenn supported: Repeal and Defeat Congestion PricingI am a New Yorker born and raised! 7 years ago I decided to move out of NY to afford my children a better quality of life. Exactly one week before we were to move my then 16 yr old son was assualted on the 6 train with a blade to his throat! It was then I knew I made the right decision to mive out of NY It was also the only possibilty of me ever being able to purchase a home. Yes I live out of NY yet work in NY still, midtown. Which is absurdly expensive already. 9 dollars more a day is 180 more a month and I am alrezdy paying an obscene amount of money to EZ Pass whiwh doesnt feel like a discount at all. I can not afford to live in NY even if I did sell my home which I love dearly. The greed is disgusting!!!!! The trains are unsafe unkept and for sure unsanitary. They are worse than when I grew up in NY. Stop being greedy
Melissa supported: Repeal and Defeat Congestion PricingIt’s not fair to working class people who have no option but to drive in to lower Manhattan. Such as food delivery and other similar occupations. I live right on the zone surrounded by both toll cameras in each side of the building. The fact that even looking for parking in the area can cause a toll charge. All ridiculous!
Roslyn supported: Repeal and Defeat Congestion PricingMy parents have a mom and pop shop and business has been slow. Congestion pricing means less foot traffic in Lower Manhattan and will drive businesses out, making the economy even worse.
Amy supported: Repeal and Defeat Congestion PricingFor my job in NJ I pass through Manhattan to and from Holland or Lincoln Tunnel via Brooklyn Bridge. This takes me well under 10 minutes to pass through. My final destination is not Manhattan. I have no choice to take a different route. Hochul and Dems want $9 for that? To pass through my own city where they charge me income tax, property tax, sales tax, road tax, and now this stupidest plan ever? Mark my words, when the time is right, I will leave this garbage of a state/city.
All while MTA is the most corrupt and wasteful agency? MTA needs to be fixed inside out. MTA can easily raise well over $1B annually by increase the fares in accordance with inflation. Enforcing fare collection. Stopping OT abuse and overhead costs. There is so much MTA and Hochul can do. Yet they want easy money. Go for the wallets of common working folks while they live in luxury.
Waqas supported: Repeal and Defeat Congestion PricingThe congestion pricing hurts everyday working people; including many commuters who work in Manhattan. This charge has nothing to do with anything else but impose yet another charge for people who already struggle in today’s economy.
