Why do they need revenue if they can give ILLEGAL immigrants a credit card for $500 in addition to all the other provisos????
Lmao your question is your answer !
That is why they need the revenue.
They need the illegals here to vote Demoncrat.
$500? You mean $10,000 that gets refilled monthly for 2 years.
They will do whatever they need to stay in power they ran the country and economy in the ground so they’ll use the middle class to compensate for their absolute failure they don’t care about us just as long as they get votes
NYC is just piling on the reasons companies will leave.
yes all their at home workers cant drive. do you know most of the people in NYC have never even driven a car. amazing isn't it.
Litterally no one cares. The more companies that leave the better.
@@diegojines-us9pcYes but every company has a product they sell where materials may have to be brought in whether it’s fresh veggies, meats, and cheese to make pizza or brochures to sell products, canvases and paints to create art, circuits and do dads to make electronics. Heck even if you are just a digital journalist who sits at a desk all day your groceries have to come from somewhere.
So everyone in NYC is touched by cars and trucks even if they don’t have a license.
@@ninjagirl226 old Rome had this problem. they didnt allowed animal pulled carts during the day. they was only allowed in at night. to restock all the things you said. and NY have enough public trans to handle the people. because tell me. how long does it take to find a place to park in NY? and how long does it take to use trans to cross the city. see why most NYers dont drive. and anyone going to NY. where are they gonna park anyway? if the fools wasn't so foolish. the government wouldnt have to get involved.
NY will drive everyone away with their craziness.
NO PROBLEM. GO FIND A JOB SOMEWHERE ELSE
And everyone’s homes in the southern states will increase in value. Cool. Thanks Dems for the real estate boost for all of us!
Yes and they’re doing it on purpose.
Maybe that’s what they want. They’re trying to turn it into the next California.😂
No, the criminals and freeloading Illegals will stay.
Amazing how new jersey cares about New Yorkers more than new York politicians.
Did you even listen to the video or are you just incapable of comprehending words with more than one syllable without google
Many NJ folks are fromer NYC folks. They grew up there and moved out here for better standards of living, more space, house, yard, excellent schools, less crime, etc.
Boycott New York !
@Ashleyefrati Some who work in New York already can't afford to live there.
AMEN 🙏 🇺🇸🚂🇺🇸🚂🇺🇸
Everything produced in New York should have to pay a tariff to export it anywhere else in the country!😂

NJ is the border like down south. thats where all the cheap help go home at night.
Best solution is to move away...far away....from NYC.
I'm well over 3k miles away and sometimes I can still smell the stench of NYC.
I'm moving to the Ozarks which is well over a thousand miles from that NY sewer
@@Er-sv5tn please don't tell anyone....jeez...
As long as they leave their voting habits behind when they escape.
It's tough for people who don't have much money, especially when the city's new policies make it really hard for them to save up to move somewhere else.
He's right. Make them audit these cities and FIND OUT where the money is going. And AUDIT THE FED while we're auditing. And that border is still wide open, emitting millions of new problems for our roads and streets. Get a grip because this is not going to resolve itself.
They audit MTA to look for Freedom Tower construction missing money , billions ..) guess what they have found?))
NYC going right back to how it was in the 70's.
HOPEFULLY!! , IM TIRED OF THIS " I IDENTIFY AS"🏳️🌈🏳️🌈 Generation
Its worse now.
@@karnovjunior Not yet but it's getting close.
@@myst8217 I'd say its worse now because we are also dealing with high rent, high cost of food, division between both political parties. I don't recall NYC being this bad before. I was a kid when Koch and Dinkins were mayor and Mario Cuomo was the gov. Sure it was rough then but not at the same level it is now.
As a black man in america you want to go back to the 70s?? LMAOOO bffr, white america in the 70s is not your reality. please do some research @@stax5ave380
Squeezing the last dollars from our hands is making the illegal immigrants lives easier
It's all by design
@@MichaelForte-jn5pn and there's another 2 million coming en massse to the Darian Gap right now.
YUP!!🤬🖕🤬🖕🤬🖕
All true, at the same time wayy too many passenger cars coming into Manhattan and causing a lot of traffic/ congestion. And this was an issue before the migrant situation.
You can book it, these liberal con-artists are going to coin the term, "Illegals" derogatory
Another reason for independent Truckers to avoid taking loads into NYC.
truckers aint going to pay for this. Whoever is ordering the products is
Let adams use the migrants funds not new tax payers money
Stop referring to them as migrants.They are illegals
Paying for migrants disguised as a driving tax. Brilliant
New Yorkers, you got what you voted for. Wake up.
new Yorkers are not that smart to elect someone who relates to the people
The amazing thing is only 20% in NYC vote
New Jersey residents who are affected didn’t vote for this.
No matter who is elected you'll always get what you voted for. You take the good with the bad. Why does everyone want to quote this only when its something negative?
I never voted for any of it
..most upstaters and commuters are republicans and they get angry because the city shifts the vote
another reason not to live in New York or New Jersey.............gotta B nuts
Such a 🚽
@@falcon4548 your are right. The voters and residents of those states certainly are a 🚽🧻
😂 Yes, we are
@@falcon4548NYC yeah, NJ suburbs not so much. It’s actually safe and clean, with some of the best schools in US. I’m not talking about Newark here but the affluent quiet, clean safe towns of which there are many. We have since an influx of NYC folks since the pandemic though and crimes we didn’t experience before are happening so . . .
NYC should tax how many rats live in your walls.
😂 don’t forget the roaches
They can always move away from that crap hole.
The crap hope that’s the wealthiest city in the nation? lol. I bet NY has a higher GDP than your state 😂
Wealthiest? NOT. And the deficit there is in the billions of dollars. @@dubreil07
They did. This is to enter the crap hole for work
@@MrLegendraAnd more have come over the Hudson into NJ since the pandemic, bringing their special NYC “flavor”, driving up housing prices by driving down availability and making it more congested. Thanks!
NYC prioritizes illegal immigrants over American citizens and legal residents by the city’s actions.
Blame texas governor who sends busloads of immigrants to nyc and chicago.
It's just another tax...to fill the money pit of NYC
how else would ny fund the debit cards for migrants
They raised property taxes. We paid $6000 on our house in SI , now it’s 9000.
Fort Lee is a great town and I think they should ban access to GWB from Palisade Ave and Lemoine Ave, streets are always full of cars trying to access GWB, not fair to the people leaving there.
99% Americans need to stop complaining you voted Democrat this what you get
The democrats nor the republicans are for the middle class
😫🤣
Last time I check New Jersey was a sanctuary state. They were the first state to become so if I recall also.
But I like it here, we are really living free in here. We don’t get pulled over for going 10 over limit, we don’t get pulled over for changing lane aggressively. Like in souther police stated, we have no road pirates in other words, , driver go fast and there hardly any accidents here right now, we have no speed or red light cameras, really free state where I feel really free . NJ was the most policing state in America . Not anymore,
@@robant5578 we'll let Texas know. Apparently you're not getting your share of illegals yet
You don’t know what freedom is.
NYC isn’t sustainable w/o taxing anything that moves.
Just more reason to leave New York city
Don't let the Toll hit you on the way out.
If the people don’t start taking a stand against these corrupt weasels and vote them out don’t complain later cause you have no right to speak …
Demrat against Demrat , I love it !
SF wanted to do something like this and San Mateo county was pissed and were threatening to sue
New Jersey needs to win this!
As a New Yorker!!
There should be thorough investigations into many issues like the green new deal, this congestion pricing, the infra- structure bill & where those billions went.
If you work there (at minimum wage) you have to donate your first hours pay to just go to work...that's offensive especially in today's economic climate.
Isn’t that in every city every state? Unless you work from home like most New Yorkers Newjersians do,
If our country would have taken action long ago like it should have these things would not be out of control today
NJ should start trying to attract some of the larger employers in NYC, such as the financial firms, with favorable tax incentives, but the leftists that run NJ would never do anything that results in lowering taxes even if it results in more revenue for the state.
no one that lives in NYC is gonna commute to NJ everyday lol the fact of the matter is NYC attracts talent and NJ does not
And in my humble opinion NYC is so OVER-RATED
@@djestouffActually you are so very wrong on this one. Being employed by a corporate giant Fortune 500 company in NJ that collaborates with the huge pharmaceutical industry in NJ and incredibly large university community in NJ. Just in my space we recruit talet from across US, from our competitors, from outside the US as well. NJ has lots of major industry that attracts professionals from all around. I’m one of them as are many of my colleagues. Maybe all you know about NJ is Newark. Try reading and learning it can be very helpful at not spreading disinformation on CZcams. Your welcome
@@jerryn.1823I love how the local radio stations like, 92.3 Now, constantly refer to NYC as the greatest city in the world 😂 Seriously has the moron who created this tag line ever been outside of NYC? The world is a pretty big place. There are major in US they offer a better standard of living and quality of life than NYC. Look to European cities. The delusional is running high in NYC.
Don’t get me wrong, NYC is unique and special and used to have a vibrant energy and feel (before the pandemic and soft on crime policies) but compared to the rest of the world? Please! Not even best in US. Get the eff over yourselves.
I'd tax NY to NJ traffic twice for what they did on tolls. A NJ Driver's license would be immune
So how does the MTA have jurisdiction over roads that were already paid for with other taxes? Did the MTA take over the streets?
Everyone is getting ripped off with CONGESTION PRICING!!! ROBBERY!!!
Commuters are always a target, they can't vote.
I HAVE LOST NOTHING IN NY I JUST WON'T GO THERE ANYMORE!!!!!!!😡😡😡
Another reason to boycott new york.
I have distant relatives and classmates living in New York and New Jersey 😊
They're hurting and struggling to keep a roof over them and feed their families.
😢
Very true. Live in NJ/NYC metro area. It’s rough here. Housing prices have exploded, groceries are insanely expensive. We get taxed all to hell and for what. I live in a nice, safe, clean town and the main street going past my condo community was full of potholes. My property taxes kept rising and we were getting nothing for it. NJ uses property taxes to fund the public schools. Well let all the folks with children living in their McMansions fund the school system they utilize, not us childless folks living in humble condos! After 12 years living here, the finally repaved the crappy street.
Everyone in Tri state area should sue this peoples: 1. City Councils members who created this law and who designed this law, 2. Mayor and Governor of New York and NYC who approved those laws for their own benefit, 3. MTA chair members and please sue them individually and make them bankrupt financially
Especially the MTA. They need to be investigated and audited for their financial management! Rates going up, same old crappy subway.
They gotta make bank so they can feed those migrants!
$15 a day for 5 days a week is $3.9K a year which is 8-10% of average income around there
U get what u vote for. Get use to it.
Just a thought, truckers are not gonna be happy, multiple trips? Multiple fees? Already paying fees. So the offset will likely have price adjustment elsewhere, like food.
The taxes and cost increases will, as always, fall to the consumer.
What about the people who go to New Jersey for work? Megabus? Tourists? This is madness
All have to pay
@@MrLegendra and they think this is economically feasible?
@@kendellfriend5558 yes the people have no choice but to pay
@@kendellfriend5558 it’s the MTA that decided not the city so MTA doesn’t really care if it’s economically feasible for the public or not
Trucks getting the worst of it. ANOTHER reason not to service nyc
Anyone with a brain knows where this money will be going towards....smh
I’m being priced out of earning a living.
I want to know when that news anchor last paid a $50 parking ticket. I got a ticket this week… it was $115.
Sounds like Fort Lee needs to create a 24/7 continuous congestion pricing against vehicles with NY plates.
MARK SOKOLICH YOU ARE THE BEST!!!
Our Welcome mat needs to say 'By invitation Only'.
Will be very good for NYC economy, brilliant idea 👏🏻
@@Blondie77128 Okay, Blondie...a WARNING is really appropriate...and you KNOW it, Scholar.
NYC's crazy. Insane. Out of common sense
There are ways around the cameras taking your license plate photos, that are undetectable to the human eye, but plainly able to block the insidious photos that NY state wants to have of your vehicle to extort your hard earned money$$$.
Never thought I would say this but New Jersey save us 🙏
Should we send some troops and take over Staten Island and Manhattans to save poor people from dictatorship? Kind of the same as Russia sent their troops to save russian people in ukraine)
I keep saying the same thing! Three need to be audited
I am with the mayor. I think congestion pricing is another cash grab that hit the working class people of both NYC and beyond. This is very unpopular. BTW I’m a native New Yorker.
This fees have only sense for private owned cars, pushing fee on commercial vehicles and motorcycles is clear sign of a deeper agenda
Solution is. NY needs to manage the city's money better. All those illegals is costing the cityna lot of money. Among other negative issues the city created. And now like the president trying to find ways the recoupe that money somehow. In my opinion.
Terrible idea. straight scam taxes are already pretty high here.
THOUSANDS of trucks come through the GWB everyday.
Im from NYC and this is disgusting, this was a new tax on Drivers. Now it is going to cost parking issues in other boros where people will drive to train and park their cars close to the train, and there solution is to make Residents pay for parking permits. So I should have to pay for a parking permit because of your stupid Idea that you did not think through. We should not have to pay anything to cross a tax paying bridge that is already funded by taxes. NYC Politicians are acting like Mobsters, This is a money grab and an extortion of the peoples funds.
Why should I have to pay you a car payment every month now from something that has always been free.
NYC is worse than California. it is out of control.
Move out of NYC, This place is going to Implode.
It is disgusting. NJ towns do have commuter parking at the NJ transit stations. My town has two stations. One has a decent lot, the other a multideck parking garage. Of course this is for an additional fee on top of the expensive commuted pass, which is hundreds of dollars a month. Not all towns have parking to leave the car in NJ due to space. NJ is the most densely populated state is US and it’s very built up. Hell even the deer have no where to live but in our yards.
London UK implemented a congestion toll, February 2003. It did reduce traffic at first. Now, a several years down the road they are right back where they started from. Congestion fee is not a fix.
Didn’t NJTP raise tolls on The Turnpike & Garden State with 15% hikes on PATH?
they are going to start charging people for walking on the street soon or later.
In my opinion people should drive where they want to without restrictions.
Who should pay for the roads then? Taxes and registration fees don't cover it.
@@rb810810they do in my state, NY is horrendously mismanaged and this congestion pricing is only going to enable more of that.
@@rb810810because people in charge don't know how to manage the money
The friggin country is going crazy it a rubber band stretch to the max it will snap then all bets are off
He’s definitely not lying at all. The GWB is like a nightmare to cross sometimes. I once literally sat still for 2 hours in traffic due to construction. My ride home was supposed to only be 15 minutes to the city.
The fastest way to get in and out of NYC from NJ is public transportation. 😳
Stupid threatened lawsuit. Manhattan is gridlock. Europe and Asia have some congestion pricing.
Take public transportation.
NY is a lost cause
These FEES are WICKED!!!
As they say desperate times call for desperate measures NYC is finished financially
Good for the Mayor.
He’s so right in everything
Well only 1 way. $37.00 to enter NJ unless you got NJ Tag.
Help: please listen to this mayor from Jersey. Audit the MTA. Where did the money go? We have no new trains as promised and no cameras on all platforms as promised. How can this not be complete with billions from the feds? Where is the money?
Its crazy that ppl would bleed all that money and continue to live there. Dont get me wrong NY is a great place to visit but to live?? nope
thanks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It baffles me that people are still willing to take so much financial abuse from these states... but then again they voted for this
Commuter taxes ? Needy can’t afford to go to work!
Parking ticket in nyc is $100….last time I got one…..last time I drove in NYC there were more taxicabs than cars…..
Just start charging $20 for every NYC vehicle leaving NY to NJ.
That's the thing, most new Yorkers take public transit. 90% of Manhattan residence don't own a car. Most of the traffic in NYC comes from outside the city
Another option would be to tax any NY state resident who drives into NJ/suburban area and put that money into improving the NYC transit system to make it something commuters want to use and can safely, efficiently do so. NY drivers are terrorizing our roads, blocking the left lanes, being reckless and agressive, causing crashes. So sick of this bad behavior.
The ruling class of NYC wants the help to be forced to spend 4 to 5 hours a day on gov't trains and busses. It won't be long until NYC mandates that all non executive city employees take gov't trains and busses.
The EV mandates will eliminate 80% of all cars in the city as well.
Simple solution - move your business to NJ.
And dont think if you take the bus or train into NY you wont be affected the fare is going up 15% come July 1st!
NJ needs to congestion price new yawkas who invade our beautiful shore every summer.
👏🏻 yes!
Fort Lee would need to increase their # of public buses schedule in and out of the city and now NYC roads will get bus congestion.
So, I guess what NYC is saying is 'stay out'? These days, they do not need to increase fees to encourage people to stay away....
😂 Yeah, just be themselves and let all their problems do the work. Old, outdated, broken down, stinky, unsafe, unreliable, homeless and mentally unstable filled subway is so incredibly desirable. But hey it’s NYC charm right?
I heard the MTA wants to put a toll on all the runners in the NYC marathon. Like what? That’s what the permit fees are for…
They need to do investigation on the mta
Hopefully within the next 4 years I’ll be able to get my full education and leave NYC for good!!
The only thing every New Yorker should be mad about is the new up charge on goods. Truckers pay 30$ now stores pay extra to get gets good, then us the consumer has to pay way more. So not only are we paying extra to drive and live, now we’ll pay even more for every day essentials. Kevin ohleary was right nyc is a dump and a lost state, because New Yorkers keep voting democrat.
I don't work in NYC, but there was a time when I went there for entertainment where I spent a fair amount of money. Now those venues, theaters and restaurants will not see a dime of my money because I don't go in to NYC anymore for any reason. Problem solved for me.
NYC residents.... Please, vote wisely next time.
Hello, NewYirk. Ya know the wind blows.
This is nuts it's going to create major traffic in Lincoln and Holland tunnels
the money going to pay more MILLONS to the PRESIDENT of the MTA n his Friends n Family.
Per the original approvals - the bridges and tunnels should be free. MTA = government waste
The problem win the MTA is mismanagement of the funds and they have been doing that for decades with both (D) & (R) parties completely responsible.
Understand this rule came from Albany and MTA NOT NYC.. There is a key distinction in those entities!!
