While a myriad of lawsuits are piled up to block it, New York City is preparing to levy a $15/day charge on cars entering Manhattan south of Central Park. Proponents say it will will lead to fewer traffic jams, reduce air pollution, and provide a desperately needed annual cash infusion of around $1 billion to support public transit.

But, the devil is in the details, eh? What about teachers, first responders, hospitality workers? Got an exemption for them? Most importantly, the nightime worker that can't utilize public transit that doesn't run after Midnight. Once again, a perfectly constructed argument is derailed by reality.

Should be interesting to watch.
