We live in a representative democracy. If the costs were not externalized, market and political forces would dictate changes in both personal choices and infrastructure investment. I don't see the rational for abdicating responsibility for the choices in where we both live and work, as disclaiming responsibility for the externalities incurred by these choices ensures that a more optimum "sociopolitical geography" will not be reached.
