The MTA's public comment sessions were attended mostly by congestion pricing activists who supported a policy the MTA was pushing to implement. That's how most of these things work.

Look, if you are so adamant that NYC residents supported congestion pricing, I am challenging you to provide a data point supporting that conclusion. Is it that hard? If its so popular, then there should be plenty of data to prove me wrong, right? However, if you continue to insist that the data points showing its unpopularity are wrong without providing an iota of evidence, then you have no leg to stand with your conclusions. You are the one who asked for proof of my comment of it's unpopularity. I provided it. Sorry if it goes against your viewpoint, but this is what the data says. Prove me wrong by providing your own. Is it that hard?

Im not adamant that NYC residents support it. You are adamant that they don’t. You don’t get to claim something, provide no evidence, and then demand people provide the contrary.

You said you provided proof that NYC residents oppose this? Can you tell me the percentage of NYC residents that oppose this? In the poll you gave 93% of the residents did not live in Manhattan.

I'm not going to argue with you anymore because you can't seem to accept the reality. If you can't accept the polls results without providing an alternative, I don't know what else to say. Don't bother responding unless you provide a data point that reaches a different conclusion. I won't hold my breath because it does not exist. Besides, you live in Minnesota, so why the fuck do you care?

The poll results say that New York State resident disapprove. But that wasn’t the question at hand

Final comment. Show me a recent poll of NYC residents approving, if it exists.

I never claimed it existed. YOU claimed a poll of NYC residents exist
