@enobacon@urbanists.social That first sentence may be right, but it's a big ol' [[citation needed]]. As for the second sentence, it's interesting that you bring that up; it wasn't in your original point or my response. As it happens, I agree that not nearly enough of the costs of driving are paid by road users, and would happily dial up some fuel/VMT/GVW taxes. Don't mistake me for pro-car; that's a slur.

@enobacon@urbanists.social I think you're off by a couple orders of magnitude. USA has like 3 trillion vehicle-miles driven per year and maybe $300 billion of public road spending, across local+state+federal. So like $0.10 public cost per mile driven.
