That's only if you completely ignore all the positives. More efficient economy, more citizen capabilities, better access for emergency and maintenance equipment.

It's so clearly a net win for society and humanity to have open and available roads.

Aside from that if you want to tax me then just charge me more for a license plate. Don't stop me in the middle of driving to hustle me for a buck and some change. Utterly ridiculous management of the problem.

Meanwhile... private jets exist...

congestion pricing is pretty unequivocally an economic good.

congestion pricing literally improves every single one of those.
