You are right that congestion pricing is not likely to happen very soon, it's just a wish of mine, a transparent and efficient solution bringing us to the same end result as the slow and politically noisy trajectory that we are on. Re: tolls, however, I don't think it's a smart idea to toll a bridge both ways because of the overhead of installing and maintaining the toll plaza, the detrimental effect on traffic, and the extra friction to leave the city (we want drivers to leave the city! Don't think twice, just leave!); just double the fees westbound instead. And maybe add flat tolls inbound on the 101 and 280 to match the inbound tolls on the bridges.
