Nobody is talking about ripping up roads. The city obviously needs roads, at the very least for the kinds of public and business services you've mentioned.

(One of the virtues of congestion pricing is that it makes obligate uses of the road better: fewer personal cars on lower Manhattan's grid means faster grocery store deliveries, fewer construction trucks double parked, faster garbage pickup, etc.).

I don't know what to tell you. I quoted the parent post, in its entirety, at the time I wrote my comment. Doesn't seem cryptic to me.

Nobody? The post being replied to literally said:
