‘Greenest Policy Is Growth’
Edward Glaeser favors the congestion pricing idea because it forces more people to use public transportation [New York, “Greenest Policy Is Growth,” April 23, 2007]. I ask him if he has to take the subway every day.
I bought my car (a hybrid, by the way) so my family and I could avoid the horrible noise, many soliciting beggars, rude individuals, public eating, many delays, incidents of crime, and uncomfortable conditions of the subway in New York.
I don’t think people with lower incomes should be forced, like cattle, into subways, while the rich can drive their cars, all based on the highly speculative theory that global warming will be slowed.
