I don't think it's car hate. But it's a reasonable discussion about how we should structure the taxes/fees to pay for the infrastructure we do need. In a sense, it's similar to the question of transit funding: should the costs be paid based on usage (fares) or by general tax revenues (income, sales or property taxes)? If part of transit cost is usage-based, should the roads be the same? Is the gas tax a sufficient proxy for this?
Full disclosure: We have two cars. And I do love driving my car, but in 2016 I have driven only about 9000 km. Some day in the not too distant future, we'll have just one.
