Taxes don’t also discourage cars.

I couldn't care less. Not trying to "discourage" regular middle class people from existing. It's America alright? There's going to be cars

That doesn’t make any sense. More cars are bad for the city. They should be disincentivized. Those other things are good for the city.

for you and your life maybe.

Half the city owns a car or lives in a household that uses one. Stop pretending like Manhattan and Brooklyn are the only aspects of NYC.

Edit: like cars aren't disincentivized by having a good public transport system. Trains, trams, rail, buses, etc. I haven't seen undeserved parts of the city get a train line or even discussion of that
