Will congestion pricing advance urban sustainability or geographic disparities?
Briefly

Electronic sentinels for the congestion pricing plan in New York remain inactive, as Governor Hochul paused the project under political pressures, particularly from Democrats in suburban areas.
The opposition to congestion pricing in New York suburbs, driven by concerns of losing House seats, has influenced Governor Hochul's decision, despite potential environmental benefits and transit funding.
Governor Hochul's hesitation on the congestion pricing plan puts her at odds with Pope Francis' environmental encyclical, reflecting a conflict between political expediency and moral considerations in urban planning.
Urban planning is intertwined with social and moral perspectives, echoing Pope Francis' view, as highlighted by Jamie Kralovec, emphasizing the need for a coherent Catholic moral vision in city development.
