No, it's a good solution to negative externalities. In the status quo, drivers do not bear the full cost of driving (noise, pollution, opportunity cost of time lost in traffic). Congestion pricing address that by imposting a fee equal to the societal cost of those externalities.
- seoulmetro 2y agoGrocery shoppers don't either. What's your point? Do we charge people to enter the grocery store, or if they buy too much? It's not a good solution in any sense of the word. There are reasons we don't charge for some things. Do you charge people extra who use their entire bin on bin day? It's weird how many people here are not smart enough to realise how backwards this solution is.
