But _more_ of my property taxes are used to subsidize the needs of highways. The gas tax doesn't cover all the costs. Yes, transit is subsidized, but it is a miniscule percentage of the taxes we pay; and people who don't live in service territories pay less or none. Roads are subsidized, too, from general taxes, much more than people think. |
