...so far. Bloomberg and Co. hates freedom.

City Council OKs congestion plan (http://www.nydailynews.com/ny_local/2008/03/31/2008-03-31_city_council_oks_congestion_plan.html - broken link)

So far, so good, but I will be absolutely stunned if Albany passes it -- all those suburban legislators, you know???

So we'll be stuck in eternal gridlock.

Who is restricting freedom exactly? I believe you are still quite FREE to walk, bike, rollerblade, hop, skip, crawl, into the city. You can also PAY and take a train/bus/helicopter, and NOW you can PAY during peek times to drive in. Why are you making this about freedom? It is about choking traffic, pollution, and limited space/time.
