    Sadly, Nick, it’s par for the course for women leaders. I wonder if they did the same for Wilbur Chapman or Chris Lynn.

    Now that pricing has “failed”, what next? What about East River bridge tolls… would those require Albany approval?

    Not sure pricing has failed yet. But if it does, I think finding a new funding source for PlaNYC will be critical.

    Why not increase the parking fees and institute a city-wide or Manhattan-only parking tax on all recognized parking spaces (not just public and commercial garages)?

    Pricing parking will work just as well to reduce overall vehicle use. As long as the price is high enough.
