Congestion Pricing Likely to Damage NYC, Pricing for West-of-Hudson Commuters Still Undecided

July 14, 2023 by Jeff Lewis

While congestion pricing appears to be a done deal for New York City commuters, an area real estate expert says it’s not a deal-breaker when it comes to people buying homes in the suburbs. Naomi Streicher of Q Home Sales in New City says those types of charges on commuters are painful, but they’re likely to do more damage to the city than the powers-that-be realize…

Streicher says people will continue to live here, and spend their entertainment dollars closer to home and, if possible, find employment locally as well if the pain of commuting is too great. Rockland County Executive Ed Day says those who still need to work in the city can affect the pricing…

The rate that’s being kicked around is $23 just to go below 60th Street in Manhattan. If you think Rockland and other west-of-Hudson commuters deserve a break, Day urges you to call the Manhattan Central Business District Tolling program at 646-252-7440. That number again is 646-252-7440.
