> The people who will suffer the most are people who drive in for work and suburban families that drive in for weekend day trips. The latter can afford to pay for the privilege. The former tends to be people under-served by transit

It's even less of a problem than you think.

The people who drive in for work are rich executives and lawyers etc. who can afford to park in Manhattan. Not maids or baristas.

They're not under-served by transit at all. If they wanted, they could commute like most people by driving to the nearest train station and taking the train into the city.

I was more thinking about people in Rockland and Orange counties, as well as north Jersey. Agreed on the rich people driving in.
