Market rates for parking with demand based pricing would for real be one of the fastest, most drastic improvements to infrastructure the city could take.

It'd also probably cause the NYPost readership (amongst others) to convulse and fight as if it were a coming apocalypse / is politically impossible.

Nah breathing is overrated, having spring in January is amazing / climate change is a joke, and we just give people more money to fight inflation!

But really yes driving is far too cheap in NYC - higher gas taxes, congestion pricing, etc are all long overdue

Honestly that's the idea - people driving themselves to work in NYC when it isn't absolutely necessary (eg contractors, delivery people) is a horrible idea and a gigantic handout to the drivers in the form of grossly incorrect pricing on the use of roadways / they should be paying out the ass for doing so.

We have far too much space in the form of parking and car traffic lanes dedicated to low value economic activity. It's getting better, but it's a slow process.
