    Just as ULEZ simply prices poor people out of driving, this will simply price poor people out of living in certain areas.

    These are purely greenwashed attacks on the working class

      I’ve spent 37 years of my life living in zone 6 with no need for a car. I can get from my front door to zone 1 in 40 minutes on the train. Cars are a luxury not a necessity in London.

      This sort of move works best when it’s part of a broader sweep of policy initiatives; improvements to public transport, more flexible working arrangements etc etc. Alongside designing cities that work for people, not just their cars.
