Agreed with everything you’re saying, and thanks for the additional points I didn’t think of. What I find weird about this is that people seem to be assuming that because I’m pointing out the fact that roads are free to the user, I must be against all car use and I must believe that car users are evil people intent on mowing down pedestrians and poisoning the air. Even crazier, they are denying that roads in Ontario are free to the user. If I understand correctly, which I am beginning to doubt because this is well past the point of making any sense at all.
Roads aren't free to users, they are only free if I steal someones car and drive it. Roads would still be needed if no one has a car and paying gas taxes etc.
