Taxes pay for infrastructure, there’s no getting around it. Infrastructure doesn’t magically appear.
How do you propose to pay for it?
We already pay taxes for infrastructure. This congestion pricing is just a way to extort more tax money out of the driving taxpayers. Often it uses highway lanes that already built by taxpayers and are now going to be toll roads.
“How do you propose to pay for it?”
Not by chasing people and businesses that transact and create taxable revenue away from your city.
Governments can’t help themselves. They will chase their cash cows out of town because they think they can make effortless dollars from tolls and electronic tracking tags.
