It always blows my mind that in our civic politics loudest conservatives are generally the loudest against efficient use of tax dollars via the car discussion.
Car's require a massive taxpayer subsidiary from road maintenance emergency services and pollution in our air.
Not sure what policies would have the most benefit to all and least damage to those who could least afford it. This is the key problem to me.
My mind goes to a tax on registering for Cars within the City (if we could get the province to allow), but that is really just a flat tax, and unlikely to impact change. A flat tax hurts those at the bottom the most.
Tolls seem to hurt the people who can least afford it, and we built this City out in a way it seems unfair to simply revert to a system now the demands tolls for those comminuting into the inner City.
I guess the Green Line is the "win/win" idea but would be interested in a candidate with a laundry list of ideas.
