Comments on: NYC Traffic Fee Plan Gets Red Light

Lawmakers Ditch Mayor Bloomberg's Plan For Congestion Pricing In Manhattan

This fee is similar to the old USSR practice of special permission to live in Moscow. Next they''ll be charging us like $100 to venture outside the country, and wiretapping our phones without warrants.

Why not just ban cars in the city center? Other countries have done this and it works fine. Why do you need a car in NY City/Manhattan anyway, you can walk anywhere you want to go?

In lieu of the toll to enter NY city, Mayor Bloomberg has urged legislation that gold-belted radials be required. Now if he could only get the city to stop making its own gravy everytime it rains.

Mass transit in NYC could not handle all of the additional riders if cars were banned. If you think mass transit is crowded or delayed now, add all those extra passengers.

Ya know, reading joe''s and hrod''s comments, I see why America is failing as a country, overall...thanks guys..most definitely liberals of the obama loving type; Clinton supporters would never insult an American city and stereotype it.

New York City, like parts of Southern California and the San Francisco Bay area aren''''t really part of the US anyway. Who cares?

How American of you.

You''re not really an American, so why bother posting your comment? Cuz see, anyone/anything you disagree with must obviously be errant, deviant, and completely un-American.

Im not sure what bothers me more; someone taking the time to login and write such an idiotic comment, or the comment itself.

I dare you to stand up and say that in a room full of New Yorkers in the midst of 9/11.

This is NOT about pollution or difficulty ion driving. Bloomberg, like every other elitist, feels that money is the answer to everything and that everybody has an easy time getting it. He should live on a poor man''s budget for a month before considering this "environmental" socialism.

Its comforting to know that every mismanagement, misstep and mistake by your government is always an opportunity for more tax revenue.
