Viridian5's House of "...What?"

New York state Governor Kathy Hochul (indirectly) gave me the best birthday gift yesterday: indefinite suspension on the NYC congestion pricing plan, with it not starting June 30. If my fan friend invites me to New Jersey to see Deadpool & Wolverine in the theater with her in July, I won't have to pay a substantial additional price to travel through Manhattan to get there.

I can drive into Manhattan in the early a.m. to look at and photograph window displays without paying additional money for it. Which is especially great, since I'm far more restless in the summer heat and need to get out and travel.



Oh, there was also talk that since some people would drive to the edge of the pricing zone and park there before using mass transit, the city might need to stop charging people a monthly fee for a permit to legally park in their own neighborhood. The Outer Boroughs don't need to get their wallets picked this hard and get more pollution.
