Companies don't have a right to a specific revenue model. Humans should have a right to their own identity.
You can't actually do that. None of those companies are charities.
You pay one way or another.
Just not going to happen. But the post above was discussing wants.
The costs are covered by local taxes, to curb on individual vehicle use and reduce congestion. After some hiccups, some cities manage good economies of scale where everybody, including the environment, wins.
As for housing and food, while there the incentive structure is more fragile, at least, we have homeless shelters that are free, and once again, everybody wins: the costs are very low, and cities are far safer and cleaner.
Successful socialism if you want.
