| Comment | Set an equitable cost distribution on pollution. Infrastructure
pricing should reflect the burden of polluting the biosphere. The
model is tier pricing in energy.
Examples:
CA needs to develop a model off-street parking ordinance that
implements "Intelligent Parking" similar to what SF wants and
Redwood City may have the begining off.
Traffic impact fees, estimated at 40k per car per ten year period
would fund zero pollution changes to the way the air and water
basin are destroyed.
PAYD road financing should replace the highway gas tax using GPS
or license-plate RFID tags. Roads should be priced so that they
produce an agree-to rate of return on the VALUE of the lane. Note
that I said value. Value is the price of land plus construction, at
the time of collection. Privacy concerns should not allow drivers
to permanently impact growing lungs by large roads.
A revenue nuetral carbon tax to address imports
Universal single payer health care to address pollution.
