People like Musk are intending to blow up the economy. They want the power back negotiating with workers, and they want justification for their rich guy tax cuts.

This has to be a dramatic loss in revenue. Why are we paying federal taxes anymore?

In this case, congestion pricing doesn't get federal funding, it's not like Elon can just turn it off

And the context is that this is another attempt to hold people's attention IMO. They aren't showing a legal argument why they can do this. Trump saying he's king doesn't just make it true. whyy.org/articles/tru...

Trump's 'flood the zone' strategy creates a week of whiplash

The first three weeks of the Trump presidency have delivered dozens of executive orders in an attempted remaking of the federal government.

USDOT has no authority to end congestion pricing

MTA and the state of NY knew they would face this fight when they implemented the program after the fall elections. They also knew they were on good legal ground to do so.

100borders @100borders.bsky.social · 19/02/2025

I mean, really, why should they do anything to alter congestion pricing when USDOT no longer has any authority. Tell them to do twenty years of studies, public meetings, environmental analysis, etc.

100borders @100borders.bsky.social · 19/02/2025

Even if there is a court injunction at some point, NYC should tell Trump to fuck off. Musk & Trump are ignoring the law, why should MTA tolerate it?

It doesn't have any authority anymore, this is one of the normal constitutional problems the US is facing right now

It's a good time to get the word out to more people about the fact that this is illegal and damaging to the country. People are still forming opinions about what's happening.

It could also be a part of that belief among some democrats that if they say things that Trump wants to hear, they will get better treatment in exchange, but that didn't work out even for so many republicans in the past 8 years

Would love to see faster, more grade separated, electrified Metrolink. Right now it's just not frequent and fast enough vs driving, even with horrible traffic.

Maybe that's the problem, he doesn't care anymore? He drives, so he doesn't care about what's good for the NYC region.

Ride around the Bay Area for a day or two using BART and Caltrain and you can easily spend $20+ versus a maximum of $5.60 per day for transit across three counties in the Portland area. Even NYC has a max of $34 a week for unlimited subway and bus use, all just by tapping a credit card.

100borders @100borders.bsky.social · 10/02/2025

Low fares & fare capping can limit the impact of choosing transit instead of driving. Transit agencies should be doing everything they can to entice people to switch from driving. Reduce the friction of moving around the system, make it easy to pay (tap a card & get automatic fare capping).

Geography is destiny, if California keeps shedding population to TX & FL, Democrats will really struggle to win the presidency. Probably a lot of people still think it's worth it to keep their personal property values up.

To me, the prices in Boise are insane, but the demand is apparently there given how much higher prices are in places like Seattle, SF, LA, etc

100borders @100borders.bsky.social · 19/01/2025

The comment you responded to was about cities, not metro areas. I'm not arguing for or against your other points, just wanted to be clear on the fact that metro isn't the same as city proper.

100

100borders @100borders.bsky.social · 19/01/2025

And really, these are very unfair comparisons at the state level. If you zoom in to Idaho, about 44% of the population lives in Metro Boise. In Boise proper, home prices are a lot higher than in many smaller cities in California. Supply and demand.

You're confusing metro areas with cities

Istanbul also has a small subway line (two stations) that has been in operation since 1875.

FWIW, the first operating subway line in NYC was opened in 1870, but it was an early design that was replaced by the modern subway. There are still elevated lines and stations in operation on the subway that have been in place since 1885.
