"instacart congestion tax" leads me to this, which seems to be unrelated.

No offense, but from here it looks like you've made a claim, been asked twice now to back it up, and every time declined to do so, instead making excuses or generalizations.

If prices have increased, but there is no evidence of it, then the increases must have been pretty insignificant, no?

Who do you think pays? Just magically tax revenue appeared? The plan is to raise $1bn/year. That’s a tax on consumers. Add in the deadweight loss (less business activity) and residents will have fewer businesses and less employment.

Just so we agree that you don't actually have any evidence to support your claim that "Prices of everything in the zone just jumped."
