the interesting thing is that most of the environmental problems of New York are also due to cars (much of the pollution, the noise, the aslphalt covering everything), and most of those cars are used by people coming in from the suburbs. Discouraging cars and encouraging public transportation would go a long way to making New York a better place to live. Make the suburbanites pay for the full impact of their convenience on our quality of life.

That is the most succinct statement that clearly makes the case for congestion pricing / commuter tax / east river tolls / etc that I have seen written - thanks crzwdjk

Unfortunately I bet Bloomberg and our other economic betters would say the suburbanites already pay in spades with the economic activity the bring to the city.

Personally I'd rather do without it, but then I just live here.
