Worse traffic everywhere except Manhattan is the point. Whether it’s so bad that the policy is net-negative is an open question. Over a long period of time I think traffic patterns will shift as society structures itself away from NJ-LI commutes (people moving to the area or accepting new jobs avoid that route, etc)

So it's great if you live in Manhattan and never leave it. It will be worse for you in all other cases.

But since I assume people in Manhattan also travel I suspect it will be a net negative for everyone.

So there is no other way to get to and from Manhattan except driving?

For real, I'm laughing my ass off over here at these people who clearly don't know what they're talking about. Who tf drives in Manhattan unless they don't know better or are doing a day trip?

I don't get how you can be so ignorant that you actually forget public transit even exists. Man, they're missing out, I wish the Paris metro was the norm in any city over 500k
