Could you imagine having to pay tolls just to take a local road to go get groceries.

Natural gas buses, trucks and cars are the answer for the next 50 years. Let's put in the infrastructure for filling stations, starting with eliminating diesel fuel. Mass transit only works well in heavily populated areas, and you still need a car to get from your home to the station. Often you need a car to get from the station to your final destination too.

I said government should not subsidize roads. It's a very simple concept. And yes, there is a place for privatized toll roads. They have been used around the world for a long time.
Simple concept, how exactly would you implement it? Charge by use to use the road in front of your house? Have a private company do that?

You told Harrier that on another forum while you were suspended from this forum.

Sorry, Harrier, I have no idea what you are talking about. There is no other forum that I post on that has a Harrier besides this one. Maybe Harrier was chatting with someone else.

It is somewhat alluded to in the second sentence of the post to which you responded.
