LOL Y-e-e-e-e-s, you see it too, don't you? The DEAD END sign at the terminus of your socialist freeway utopia. It's there, we're headed toward it at 120 miles per hour, and there's no way to stop. Soon comes the screech of tires, the crash — and the opportunity to crawl from the wreckage and find a better way to travel.
I’m willing to consider tolling freeways. You pay to use the freeway, and capacity is preserved for a longer time, since fewer people are willing to pay tolls than to go free. But that’s not to say I endorse cramming everyone on buses, choo-choos, and planes. Roads ARE good for commerce and transportation, no matter what the choo-choo pushers say.
Right now, I would prefer to widen some major interstates to six lanes. You are not going to stop the growth of trucking, which can reach places that choo-choos cannot, nor are you going to stop people from liking automobile travel.
Even a fully-empowered monarch would not be so daft, in this day and age, as to cram all people and freight onto trains and buses.
