The experience of congestion pricing and parking reform is really funny. 1. Experts tell legislators to do a thing for decades. 2. Legislators do nothing. 3. A movement forms behind expert consensus. 4. Everyone predicts a backlash. 5. It's an enormous success.

Now all they need to do is stop storing private cars in the public right of way. Use the steers to move bicyclists & delivery bots through; and/or bodegas and cafes and wider sidewalks. Delivery drop off spots. Private cars stored on private property (garages).

6. Other metropolitan cities will push back on implementation and use the rhetoric of "destruction of neighborhood character and will negatively impact local businesses". When in fact the opposite is true.

Since we've redefined "success" to mean pricing out the poorer B&T commuter crowd, it's a success.

From this experts should learn they too are bound by consensus, and should spend more time working on rhetoric; legislators should learn they are less bound by consensus than they think, and doing shit that works works

The face of a man whose identity is built around romanticizing economic discrimination as an urban planning tool. You should be embarrassed by yourself.
