>>got his a## handed to him
There's a phrase I hit upon while designing and building our house: For every solution, there's a problem.
That seems to apply here. Somehow or other we have to figure out how to pay for roads. I get that the mileage tax hits lower income people the hardest, but
- so does the gas tax.
- right now the EV owners, who are mostly "haves," are getting a free ride (and often other subsidies).
- as we transition to EVs, revenue for roads will dry up even while the gas tax falls way short of paying for roads.
So what ideas do you folks have for paying for roads in a way that is reasonably equitable? Oh, and if that's too easy, bonus points if your solution doesn't also encourage sprawl.
