The fact of the matter is that those who use more pay more. There is no real
rationalization to gouge them further. How about a multi-tiered structure on
gasoline (accounted for with a smart card), or perhaps on scarce food items,
such as strawberries in a bad year?

I MIGHT support a multi-tiered system if there were allowances. For
instance, I would be perfectly happy to get business service at my
home...but the rules as constituted do not allow it. It is a residence; if I
happen to make my living within those walls...tough!

I wonder what rate the "live/work" lofts get in SF.
