>>2016120I'm sure you heard the joke (yet real) that tolling as it is doesn't even pay for itself. They told so naive politician that and he said "why don't we just put out a hat". The people are too addicted to free shit. It's like an especially moronic "affluenza" for normies. The middle class was a mistake. Now every business is a co-paying scam to subsidize living in flatland. Poor people fetishize the suburbs as "making it", meanwhile the most expensive real estate in the world is wedge more and more to every city center, forever, which they know either everything is a corrupt lottery, or they will never be able to compete in, or always be a controlled supplicant in a pigeon hole.....not that they are wrong.....but that only cause they would act more naturalistically cause "zoom zoom" is the perfect illusion of freedom (despite costing 10K a year, a costing the earth EVERYTHING).
A locked budget to roads from vehicle registration and fuel taxes is the only answer. I know tolling is more accurate, and could done with modern equipment efficiently, and in the only way to force in people's heads that every foot you travel is costing money, and finally THEIR money, but the corporations who love that every road is built for 40 tons so they aren't confined to rail, will never let it happen, even if the public faced reality for even a minute to see the scam...and most of the road has to carry 40 tons to the truck that build the house that has no right to be built in the middle of nowhere, once. So it's all the same thing.
