>It's usually better to have a high fee for things you don't want people to do rather than outright banning something. Why? Any rule with a fine is a rule that the wealthy can just ignore. Why is that a desired attribute of the system?

I don't see how more money makes you sleep better at night when the rich private plane owner is flying over your house most nights.
