Congestion pricing makes NYC safer www.nydailynews.com/2025/02/22/c...

What a strange time for a book to come out, especially one that’s a lot about racial justice and racial equity and inclusion and the interplay between public policy and private sector. And yet. Today is publication day for my first book, The Banks We Deserve. Buy it now: https://buff.ly/4gn36It

A new poll by Morning Consult shows that 59 percent of voters say Trump should “allow congestion pricing in New York City to continue,” the polling company said in a statement.

Interesting article that heavily features the great Mike Eliason @holz-bau.bsky.social @islandpress.bsky.social www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
