    Sure they do, so long as they have provided adequate alternatives like rail or other transit for people to use instead.

    Cities shoild be built for people. If you want to pollute the city with your car, waste space parking it somehwhere all day, and participate in one of the most dangerous forms of transportation, then there should be a fee associated with that to cover the costs of maintaining the infrastructure, pay for the parking, and contribute some money to healthcare to cover pollution health impacts/injuries from roadways.

      That fee already exists on the property and car sales that’s taxed. More taxes won’t fix any issues we face, itll just line the pockets of useless beaurucrats.

      Why don’t the feds acc invest in proper subway lines instead of forcing them into two crowded lines, and refused to add more for 25 fkijg years.

      You say Tax them more to reduce cost of living, I say give them good alternative options but let the people choose. You also forget how much $$ these 905ers bring into the dt core. Scaring them off w taxes will hurt local business more so than anything.
