Has that study work been credibly done, subject to review, or simply assumed?
I haven't worked on such policy crafting, but I'm an expert on having been subjected to it. Perhaps that colors my opinion about it. I again would testify I would drive much less if I had other options. I believe many would.
Honestly, at some level I more or less agree. In fact I'd say I think your proposal is the most level headed and well measured, and all in all it doesn't impact me personally one bit, in fact it assures that no work to screw up my neighborhood will occur inside of a decade, as all the funds will go elsewhere. My disagreement is far more conceptual than practical and I admit that. At some point we'll need to move into a more progressive mindset, but today obviously isn't that day.
