Are there any significant differences between a London-style zone-based congestion pricing regime and taxing parking spaces?

@binarybits It depends on the city. In NYC, driving through Manhattan from NJ to Bkln/Qns/LI or vice versa is a real issue.

@binarybits London has both, since lots of boroughs scale resident parking charges with CO2 emissions now

@binarybits which is a bit stupid given that cars emit no CO2 when they're parked…

@binarybits And in DC, most of the congestion is on suburban arterials not surface streets.

@mattyglesias Right, so London-style congestion pricing wouldn't work at all in DC.
