If that's wild-eyed social engineering (not that I'm saying you're claiming this), then put me down as a radical.
Are we talking about the subsidy again, because I'm pretty sure we all agree on that. Or are you talking about how in another 50 years, we're going to need much bigger roads, and that the people living along those roads should pay for them, rather than the people that live elsewhere in the city?
