New York City was never meant to hold 8.5 million people either. So what?

Sorry for the double post It didnt show up the first time so I thought “sh*tty” was a banned word so I changed it and reposted it.

With respect, Ive never heard before that NYC was never meant to be drivable where did you get this info?

The point I was trying to make with that statement is if you ask anyone even someone who has never driven in NYC what they think of when they hear “Driving in NYC” more than likely they will say traffic jams and no parking.

While I appreciate your arguement “B,” I beg to differ with the last part:

The sucky traffic and lack of parking is as big a part of NYC as the Empire State Building lol.

NYC was never meant to be a driveable. It was always intended to be a mass transit and foot traffic based city.

Thank god this thing didnt pass. I can barely pay for college (plan to go to Med school), car, insurance, parking, food, etc. I would not be pleased if they added another something, something to my ever-growing list of things I have to pay for.

Heres how I saw this whole CP thing coming about. Bloomberg’s rich friends in Manhattan was sick and tired of being stuck in their limos in traffic so they devised a plan to make it look like they were help the every man when their goal is just to help themselves.

Suck it up!!! The sucky traffic and lack of parking is as big a part of NYC as the Empire State Building lol.

Would love to see this happen, but I don’t think we are ready for it right now. Especially in light of the recent subway capacity studies, and the lack of planning for the inevitable increased ridership.
