Because riding my bike 11 miles to work in 95 degree heat with unhealthy air to breathe is totally an option! I’d rather take my mega-bro-dozer pickup, in case I need to buy 1000lbs of mulch… /Sarc

Well, they are building toll roads everywhere and punishing electric cars with unreasonable registration fees.

Truth be told, i’m somewhat on the fence about tolls. Charges the actual users vs ‘everybody at random’. Generally I’m against them tho, as it tends to punish lower wage earners a lot more than higher wage earners. The economics of it tend to skew richer people to move to areas with more tolls tho, as they take that cost into account as a smaller portion of their overall budget.

My problem with these new Texas toll roads is that they’re subsidized with public money but privatized so ntta keeps the cash. Classic tactics of privatizing profit while making losses a public debt.
