Agree with some of your gas/road taxes/tolls comments.

Who cares? I think the economic penalty of buying a lot should be the price of the land. If I want to buy two lots side by side and use one as a playground for my kids, great. If land is worth so much that you have people knocking down houses and sub-dividing lots (happening tons now at current land prices) then the economics of it are taking care of themselves. There are fewer and fewer 50' lots in the inner city with single family dwellings on them, so I don't feel a huge need for reform in that area.
