Perhaps you would like to add to the discussion who pays for Amtrak and whom benefits from long distance passenger rail service?
Why should bike free people pay for bicycling facilities?
Maybe you would like to add to the discussion why should child free adults pay for schools or playgrounds.
What makes you think the roads, highways and streets outside of your approved city limits should be toll roads paid for only by the users?
BTW, how do you expect farmers to get their product to urban "farmer markets" or anywhere else? Only on dirt paths in carts pulled by team of oxen like the good old days?
