> Nobody would say we should divide the total cost of all USA highway spending by the miles driven by a suburban family to figure out what it should cost them.
We absolutely should. And hey, somebody did just that: https://taxfoundation.org/data/all/state/state-infrastructur... - in my state the drivers pay for 95% of road upkeep via direct user fees.
And I'm totally on-board with having drivers pay 100% of road maintenance. As long as transit riders pay 100% of fares.
> What about the wars we fight for oil?
The US is a net energy exporter. And of course, for urban planning purposes, we can just assume that all future cars will be EVs.

Can I send you a mirror?
