In my opinion living on the country side is a luxury. Sure, feel free to live in a small town, but please pay for all the externalities yourself.

- reader_mode 6y agoThose would be minuscule per capita, and are already included in high gas taxes we have around here.
- ginko 6y agoWhat makes you think fuel taxes are already including the cost of carbon capture?
- reader_mode 6y agoBecause they are higher than carbon taxes on industry from what I remember.
- joe_the_user 6y agoThe cost of giant road network connecting a patchwork of exurbs is vast. If the exurbs wind-up being considered a luxury and inhabited by those who can afford, the cost per-person goes up. Even more, if the US gets rid of its extreme wealth/income imbalance, the number who could afford it would go down even further. Essentially, Exurbia is millstone around this country's neck, effectively moving the place palpably to disaster via fire, unhinged ideologies and generally unsustainable infrastructure.
