User fees are a much more accurate way to charge heavy infrastructure users their fair share.

The better police, schools, etc. in wealthy communities are funded by the higher property taxes there.

Except then you often hurt those who can least afford it, those who have to live further away from their jobs due to costs and thus use infrastructure more to make it to work.
