Things that are more inequitable than road pricing

You could ship the stuff home... Yes I know that's probably not realistic but here in Japan for example it's extremely common to ship your luggage to the airport the day before and/or ship it home from the airport on the way back. I've done it a few times.

It's also common to buy things at a store like a PC or printer or microwave and have them delivered instead of carrying them home.

Japan's shipping services are relatively cheap and generally pretty good at delivering in 2hr windows

I also live in Japan about half time. The near-complete lack of on-street parking and high tolls (which are effectively congestion taxes) plus amazing public transportation are all good objectives for NYC. Also, things like luggage delivery, which I’ve used to ship bags from Tokyo to Kyoto and back.
