AFAIK, it only applies to a relatively small section of Manhattan, in which traffic makes driving fairly difficult anyway, and most less well off people take public transit. I have heard people from new jersey who have to drive in complaining about it though. It does may be somewhat regressive.
What it is certainly not is whatever people on the right are trying to call it. I might be wrong about any of this though, I’m not a new yorker.
Man this does not make you look good. Like, they told you to stop.
I don’t agree with their perspective on this, and I think we should in general be trying to consolidate communities right now, but if the mods told you to stop, you should have laid off it for a while at least.
