If anybody’s looking for particular recommendations: Svadba (on the 31st and 1st) and Cantori New York (on the 4th and 5th) are each going to be exceptional, like nothing you’ve heard (… literally, in the case of Cantori’s two premieres :)).

To OP: I used to do this for money so it’s very moving to see you doing it for pleasure and to help others

I agree. Congestion tax is nothing more than a way to for this inept city government to fund its crooked programs. The intentions for these actions is positive but execution is piss poor. Why would government fix its spending when they can keep raising funds? MTA is subsidized everywhere and still is running a deficit. Why would they improve If they keep getting bailed out? Crooked politicians that rather pander to unions than actually make significant changes for everyday New Yorkers.

Target doesn't increase people's options. It destroys local businesses and measurably reduces quality of life in multiple ways, just like wal mart and all these other crappy stores. A local businesses opening a location there would have been dramatically better for the community.

Uh, now imagine you drive to go get something and driving home costs you money

People who live in the zone are paying a premium to live there, congestion is brought in by people who don't live there.

EVERY single other congestion zone in the world gives variance to residents if the zone and.people.immediately adjacent because it's made.foe a purpose, not a money grab

Y'all are just selfish and haters and think, well as long as it doesn't affect me fick em.. not actually thinking about the point of it

You're riding a system infrastructure ... I pay taxes towards roads already. Also pay to use specialty infrastructe like bridges and tunnels ....

You said that line 9 responses ago..

Your comparison like saying building a house in Pennsylvania cost $120/psf why is this shoe ox apartment selling for $1500-$3000 in NYC.. it .makes no sense.. ironically I happen to be in the middle of PA this wkd, hence the reddit

NYC is an amazing city, there's no doubting that. I've been to Edmonton before lol. Almost Couldn't pay me enough to move there.

You're taking this so personally, it has nothing to do with pride in expense of New York, but your dimbass comparison makes no sense.
