@SeaGreenEyez Austin welcomes every high tech company there is. They have taken one of the best cities in America and fucked it up unless you have a lot of money, which means primarily White people. They have pushed Black and Hispanic people out of their homes and neighborhoods as the property taxes are so high they can't afford them. Now many of those people are getting some outrageous amounts of money for their houses to start over in a neighboring town, but that leads to long commutes in a city that is in gridlock during rush hour and just bad traffic period except late at night. It has really changed the feel of the city and not in a good way for me. I am glad I lived there in the 70s, half of the 80s, and the early 90s. It was nearly perfect.

@SeaGreenEyez I already said I don't know about how reasonable this proposal is, I don't even begin to know enough about how road funding works. But the premise is sound, if a gas tax to fund roads is reasonable, then it's not unreasonable to tax other road users comparably.
