I don't think you need to be a hard-core Ayn Rand libertarian to believe it is a good idea to make people pay for the infrastructure they use. Anyone who knows anything about infrastructure in the US knows how much we subsidize cars in so many different ways.

Just getting people to pay for their cars via parking, tolls, ect is such a huge win for infrastructure advocates. When you make people pay, suddenly they don't love their cars so much.

I'm a car enthusiast, so much so that my daily driver is a 589 HP car. I pay through the nose to own my cars, and nothing will stop me from loving them. I rode public transport for 16 years and hated it, I'll never ride it of my own free will. Are you saying that loving cars is bad?
