This article is 7 years old, the city abolished the practice in 2010 as far as I can tell. Not to say that it wasn't a ridiculous situation, just that it isn't still the case.

I don't see any evidence of this and there is a ton of evidence to the contrary. Even toll roads don't come close to paying for themselves with the gas tax. See here and any number of other links: http://publicola.com/2011/01/04/all-together-now-roads-do-not-pay-for-themselves/

Thanks for saying that, we are not a race of super beings just by virtue of our intellect and we're a lot more instinctual than most of us are willing to admit. Talking about the sanctity of gods creations while driving thousands of them to extinction is pretty ridiculus.
