My wife and I have started making videos of plates and bowls that we’re selling from home while snowed in.

this is incredible stuff. most state DOTs would spend tens of billions on highway expansions to try and see numbers like this (that wouldn’t even pan out anyway thanks to induced demand lol)

Let's look at another traffic graph showing congestion. This is a typical Saturday for the Holland Tunnel, pre-CP. Consider our toolset from yesterday:
- Nominal delay is 8 minutes - the time it takes to traverse

Walking around SoHo. Crowded with people, but not with cars! This pic is from Broadway and Prince. The whole area is noticeably quieter and so much more pleasant. #congestionpricing

“There have been no delays the entire week, and when I look to my left and right down the avenues I can see all the way down – I’ve never seen it like that.” nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/01/10/m...
