The demand is SO HIGH and the resources so little, it did not matter if it were a one lane rickety bridge, you could not boycott it either. SOMEONE will take it, at any price and condition. That's the sad part. There is no competition so it can be as high as you like.
The VZ, think about it... your choice is to fight the traffic on the Gowanus, then the BQE to the Manhattan Bridge, Canal St. to the Holland Tunnel (oh what fun) then loop all the way around the harbor to Elizabeth, past EWR (well that part is worth it) and then head down to where you would end up by taking the shortcut VZ to Outerbridge crossing. I know [I] put lots of value on that $13 if I had to make that choice.
Alfred Marshall would use it today as the best example of supply and demand ;-)
