We should pursue a strategy that uses our street space more efficiently, saves the city money while doing it, allows more development and tax base, with all the happy positive externalities.
We pay sales taxes on windshield wiper fluid, oil, tires, parts, and other necessities to keep our cars moving. Cars and gas shouldn’t be any different.
Even though many Minneapolitans live close to their jobs, they still choose to drive to work.
