John Massengale [makes a compelling argument](http://massengale.typepad.com/venustas/2005/07/take%5Fback%5Fthe%5Fs.html?ref=onemanandhisblog.com) for the extension of congestion charging to New York:

> Why do we allow millions of New Yorkers to be inconvenienced and poisoned by a small number of drivers who would rather sit in traffic jams in their own cars than take public transport or a taxi?

He goes on to argue for a reassignment of space on NYC’s avenues with photos. Well worth a look.
