Everyone at this network and the people they represent would lose their minds at the suggestion we have anything to learn from Europe in terms of walkability, bikeability, transit access or even universal healthcare. Much easier to say it must be something about the food.

"The city’s 311 collects information about how many people call about what is called ‘excessive car-honking. And the number of complaints about excessive car-honking in January and February was 70 percent lower than last January and February. I just love that, because it’s all-in-one."

How Well Is Congestion Pricing Doing? Very.
One hundred days in, honking is down; bus speeds are up.
