Here we go again.
First Mayor Adams tried (and failed) to ship migrants to upstate counties following his defiant declaration, “New York City will remain a sanctuary city under an Adams administration.”
Now his city’s public-transit system wants to balance its books on the backs of bedroom communities like my own Cornwall-on-Hudson via what it calls the Central Business District Tolling Program — and what the rest of us call congestion pricing.
This is yet another disastrous policy doomed to fail that New York Democrats craftily package as “environmental justice,” claiming it will defeat congestion, improve public safety and enhance air quality.
Residents are fleeing the five boroughs in droves.
We know this because when the mass exodus doesn’t increase red-state populations, dissatisfied city denizens end up in our northern counties.
Pretend it isn’t quality-of-life concerns related to the sharp rise in crime (wrought by neutering the NYPD) and increasing costs contributing to unaffordability for the poor and middle class.
