Fee of $9 for driving in Manhattan
*New York City plan to charge $9 fee for driving in Manhattan approved.*
I support this plan to charge for driving in downtown and midtown
Manhattan provided it does not have the byproduct of tracking who goes
there, and in particular it is possible to pay without being subject
to injustice such as identifying yourself or running nonfree software.
But the article fails to say whether the fee system has those unjust
aspects. Like so much journalism these days, it focuses on monetary
cost while disregarding cost that may (or may not) accrue to our
freedom.
