Reply to comment by sumgye in Upper West Side votes against proposed rest stop for delivery workers at 72nd Street by mowotlarx

They pay a fee it's called tax

I take your point but the slew of unsafe e-bikes speeding down already busy avenues is a negative for everyone else that they should take responsibility for (separately from their taxes)

Agreed, NYC can amend tax law to capture this new externality no one predicted 30 years ago but oh the angry billionaires

We pay for the NYPD with our taxes, if the ebikes are unsafe it's the NYPD's job to enforce traffic laws. Don't be mad at Uber, be mad at the cops
