What if your employer started charging $100 a month for parking if you didn't use it? or $10 a day for special days(gotta get kids after school, dr aptpt). I'm not saying this would be easy or fun for everyone. I'm wondering if a government SHOULD impose a tax on employees driving to EBR for work.
I'm sue businesses would be lining up to charge their employees to drive to work.
It does sound like something EBR would do though. Provide a shitty service and penalize people for not using it. Very economically liberal thinking.

Exactly. I agree it's liberal in thinking. But. This kind of shite is happening now with taxes on drivers over certain miles. That day is coming.
I'm just wondering if something like that couldn't help fix interstate traffic before a load of dirt is turned on infrastructure.
Bottomline is motherfrickers moved out the parish because schools sucked, crime sucked, blah blah blah. All valid reasons. But they continue to commute to BR for work and bitch about traffic but want NO loop through their parish.
I'm throwing a big what if EBR said "frick you outsiders", pay up to park here or use the shuttle.
