But you can’t read it, since you don’t have Times Select.

From Hey! Hey! I’m Walking Here!:

New York’s approach to transportation — like most cities — has been described as first making sure that “all the cars are happy.” That should change.

The priority should be making sure that New Yorkers, and the people who spend their days here, have a safe, clean, and efficient environment for going about their business and recreation. If that means burdening cars, that’s what should be done…

The boldest step of all would be imposing serious fees on people who bring cars into the bottom third of Manhattan…

I could just kiss their rosy Times Select cheeks.

One study, produced by the chamber of commerce in car-happy Queens, concluded that congestion pricing is a financial loser… it would finally and utterly hand Manhattan to the very rich, and might hurt Broadway theaters and other nightlife.

Yes, Queens, not letting you drive in here would finally hand the city to the Rockefellers . Forget all of us po’ folk walking around, living in Manhattan rentals. And your own poor, recent-immigrant neighbors riding in on the subway. No, charging you queens $25 a day to maul us with machines is going to ruin everything.

Especially the “Broadway theatres.” God, what will we do without that economic and cultural heart of the city?
