Wrong.  I advocate choice.  But pay for it.  Pay for the damage caused by
gasoline consumption w/ a gas tax.  Pay for the additional roads
needed to reach the 'burbs.  Respect the rights for species above
insects on the foodchain to have space to thrive.

Our system subsidized surburben development in many ways.  I don't
support this.
