- refurb 5y agoWhy? Everybody benefits from roads even if you don’t drive. It’s how food is shipped to stores, public transport uses them, etc.
- zip1234 5y agoIt is subsidizing inefficient cities and land use, causes massive environmental harm, and the people that benefit the least from subsidized driving are the poorest people. If it is such a universal good that benefits everyone and people are already paying for it through their taxes, then why would people be upset about not having to pay for it through their taxes and just pay for it directly?
