Yep. Toll roads hit poorer people harder. Maybe there could be a credit limit that everyone (or just people of lesser means) gets by default and you only pay when you start going over it.
Or maybe just build better public transportation.
- gowld 8y agoIt's not possible to build good public transportation after people have already chosen where to live, work, and build buildings based on the non-public-transit infrastructure.
- asteli 8y agoIt took a while for the suburban model to take hold of the United States, clearly it would take a while to re-densify metropolitan areas. I think you go too far by saying it is impossible. To use an Americentric, and worse, SV-centric example, consider when SF's BART was built. They trenched Market Street through almost all of downtown! Building transit even in dense urban areas is clearly doable with enough political will. Maybe I'm doing the typical HN thing and assuming that lots of people are like me, but I've been moving around the SF bay area, and being close to transit is a massive consideration.
