With he way people talk about it here you’d think they’re being asked to sacrifice a child to drive below 60th.

Tbh I’m shocked that Europe did charging first. I would have thought all the roads in America would have been owned by private companies and each would have a charge to use them.
New York didn’t sell its roads to do congestion pricing.
I know. I just mean in general with how uber capitalist American society seems to be. It surprises me that all the roads weren’t sold if to businesses so that a profit could be made. Seems like a massive missed opportunity.
It seems like the forces trying to ensure car dependency won that one. I’d have much preferred a history of expensive roads because we’d have more walkable/bikable/transit oriented development this whole time.
If the roads were private they’d have either made walking along them chargeable or just banned that.
A lot of cities learned after Chicago sold off its parking spaces.
But how car improve when less car
