[quote=Anonymous]This is obviously a premeditated and direct, classist attack on working class people in the city. The fees are designed to ramp up quickly after 3500 lbs. The lightest truck on the market is the Ford Maverick which has a curb weight of 3600 lbs. That truck also only costs about $20k. The fact then that they carve out an exception for heavy electric cars that cause much more wear and tear on roads and are much more dangerous to cyclists and pedestrians shows exactly what this is about. It’s not about safety. It’s preening class privilege. It’s a policy designed to be hostile to working class people because some folks apparently only want to live around their own class and then will tolerate a lower class of service workers that serve them. Sort of like the old English estates. DC wants to be the city-sized, modern Downton Abbey. PG County will gladly take all your blue collar workers. Thanks. [/quote]
