Urban/Suburban infill development is a terrific idea. It's being accomplished at a far faster clip than a lot of people realize, but there could be better incentives at the federal level (US).
Fuel taxes are pretty high already. Increasing them will hurt a lot of people very badly.
- tombert 7y agoUmm, what? American fuel taxes are pretty cheap. Fuel is almost half the price here than anywhere in Europe, largely due to Europe's higher taxes on fuel. It's actually becoming a problem; our fuel taxes haven't risen as much as inflation, and our road infrastructure is funded largely by fuel taxes.
