there was an article a few years ago about a guy who commuted like 8 hours a day to get to work from richmond to the doj in dc or something. he lived down in midlothian, drove to fredericksburg to get on the vre, and then got on the metro in alexandria to get into downtown dc. he kind of did it to himself because he didn't want to move his kids or something dumb like that. but, the closest he could probably afford to live is maybe prince william and only in a poo poo school district....so still a 2-4hr daily commute.

I-95 North in Miami during rush hour is typically pegged between 11 and 13$ but I've seen it up to 15$. E: a friend of mines father is the CEO of a beverage company everyone has heard of and he commutes 2.5 hours into the city and 2.5 hrs home everyday. He has a big rear end house out on a lake with a ton of land so I think that's like his thing. E2: he does the drive himself. If there's an emergency the send a chopper Waroduce fucked around with this message at 04:10 on Dec 5, 2017 |

Colorado's putting in yet another expensive toll lane on I-25 instead of just expanding the interstate for all. As if the problem were all those people in BMWs choking the roads...

psydude posted:Here's a current event: one of the busiest roads in the DC region is now a toll road, and it costs $35. I'm OK with this. If we start pricing congestion at actual market rates we might actually get Americans behind building real mass transit systems in cities that aren't NYC, Chicago, Boston, D.C., etc. Nice, I love all the Patagonia stuff I own.

It's regressive because who needs to commute everyday and will be affected more? Answer: People without private helicopters.

Hremsfeld posted:I, too, want to spend over $16,500 per year for the privilege of travelling to and from my job. The road was plain inaccessible to non-carpoolers during rush hour before the toll. They added a variable toll that allows people to pay to get on but keeps traffic flowing. On one hand, keeping public infrastructure available to all is a good thing. On the other hand, driving in a car alone is hugely wasteful and subsidized in all sorts of other ways. Things like tolls targeted at commuters in a hurry or congestion pricing in city cores encourage the use of public transportation while raising revenue for other infrastructure in a relatively reasonably targeted way.

Poppyseed Poundcake posted:So every fee that doesn't scale based on income is regressive? Is the bus fare I pay regressive because we all pay the same amount? Yes. Look at how much bus fare is as a percentage of income for some people and its very obviously so. Your speeding ticket being the same as someone who makes substantially less is also regressive, for a rich person(not you) a speeding ticket is meaningless unless it scales with income.
