STREETS AND AVENUES

Probably one of the most complex topics discussed here. We're used to "free" streets so we'll have a hard time trying to find a solution for this.

Streets and avenues can have several levels of ownership. Local streets can be owned by local residents whereas highways may be owned by millions of people from different cities.

Many libertarians argue that streets would be free to use since merchants would like people to come but I disagree. Road infraestruture is too expensive for cars and trucks and if you have a very dense population, the space will be even more disputed.

My guess is that we will have urban tolls everywhere. Probably you'll not need to pay for it every time you pass by, maybe you get monthly bills. We will also have to find ways to protect privacy.

As to the cost, I think people can get discounts or free access when they own a share % of a street but they'll probably have to pay for it when are visiting some new place.

In order to spend less, it's likely people will live next to their jobs. We will probably live in a quite different city.
