So I'm going to go to first principles that as someone who seeks to govern, I'm going to use a very clear planning first, then carrots, then sticks. Congestion pricing goes right to sticks, and it uses a billy club, not just a stick. There are lots of people that cannot afford $9 that are going to have to pay it [for congestion pricing]. and that's just not right, especially when there hasn't been planning around it. And I'll give you an example, if you want, and there have been an attempt to get drivers down. (14:07–14:12)
