It’s a way to expand margins. They will save money with fewer cars on the street, but they will absolutely pass the congestion charges on to customers. My family is in the restaurant business. They’ve already been given notice it will happen from some of their vendors.

No, delivery charges will be added to each delivery for places like restaurants. Do you really think companies will just eat that cost when they can spin it into a way to generate additional revenue? They will pass it on to their customers (restaurants in this case) and then that will get passed on to everyone that’s eating out. Then people will complain about it

"people who commit crimes like robbery do so out of economic need."
vs.
"someone who covers their license plate has demonstrated their depraved indifference to human life and is irredeemable as a result."
You've GOT to be a troll

You think a bike with a basket is a realistic way to transport your kids from say, deep in BK to upper-Manhattan or the Bronx in the asshole of winter or peak summer?
I agree with the pick-up/van point though. My dad is a carpenter and he always says the same.

Agreed. I think for a lot of people empathy comes with age and experience though, so it goes hand in hand.

So many things that are constantly said in this sub fall into the same boat. A lot of the "fuck cars" people (not all of em) never tried moving a few of their young kids across the city, or had to carry tools to construction jobs on the subways or buses. Or the "fuck landlords" or "fuck the mom and pop stores that have notice about credit card service charges phrased incorrectly." Just immature people with 0 life experience.
