The European mind quivers at the thought of a state with a bigger area than most EU countries

I like walking around new cities, but a lot of people are car life types





But we're talking about New York City here, not Kansas. Specifically the congestion zone which during the work day is the most congested place in the world (187,500 people/sqm).

Congestion pricing makes driving in New York better. Broadly speaking, the tendency for someone to have a problem with the scheme is proportional to their distance from and inversely related to the amount of time they've ever spent in New York.


What does the size of the state have to do with anything?

... I mean, that seems entirely irrelevant when discussing New York City, which is, geographically, rather small (though very dense).

Just like the comment I was replying to and your comment. Both add nothing and deserve nothing but flippant responses to this discussion.
