if any town could use congestion pricing, it's Boston... but it "solves a problem", by "inconveniencing the wrong people", so it'll never happen there.

I've never been to Boston, though it's not far from here. Over the years the main thing I've heard about Boston is that people there drive like sociopaths on a rampage. Not sure if it's true, but I've heard it from many people.
