Before congestion pricing is implemented I’d like to see NYPD out ticketing double parked vehicles that are the root cause of a majority of traffic congestion in NYC

I think you mean you’d like more red and green arrows for turning vehicles so they don’t mix with pedestrians. But this is less efficient for most of the day outside rush hour

LGA should have flat fees like JFK. Had a cabbie take me on a scenic route up over the triboro before going to downtown Manhattan. I flipped on him when I noticed, my friend mentioned filing a report and the driver started freaking out because he knew he was fucked. He stopped near a cop and the cop had to settle it for us - we paid him half the meter and got in a different cab.

I tend to believe only developers use words like “housing crisis”. What I see is price gouging landlords who base property values on international oligarchs who are laundering money and avoiding their taxes. Wealth inequality is the highest it’s been since the 1920s. We need a rent strike and price caps.
