Every anti congestion pricing thing I've heard is just like this "won't someone think of the children" nonsense coming from a person who has no idea what they are talking about. Imagine getting up and declaring "you will pay more for food" based on nothing but a nypost forum post you read one day.

The best part of the plan is incentivizing the trucks to show up at 4 AM instead of during the day.

But what if I made something up about an imaginary cost this would impose (say, on the price of pizza) without acknowledging the existence of the other side of the ledger?

Astonishing that they needed a grocery store manager at a public meeting to point this out - it should be freakin' OBVIOUS to anyone who gives it a good-faith think for more than a few seconds.

Using CP to mean congestion pricing is breaking my brain (I know you’re just quoting the tweet)

I did Man with a Van moving in 2007 NYC. We tried to do some math on congestion pricing, everything we could consider suggests Congestion Pricing would benefit us and our customers.

Any good neutral explanations of congestion pricing in general and in this specific proposal?

This seems obviously true: if CP is in place, there will be less congestion for the vehicles that actually NEED to be downtown during high toll times so their time downtown will be more efficient, and deliveries will increasingly take place during lower-toll times, which are already less busy.

i'd even support a program for discounted entry for deliveries. it's not like they can take a bus or a train. but any kind of taxi, uber, any kind of people-transport using the streets has to pay full price.
