Fred's Humboldt Blog
I'm a Libertarian living in Humboldt County, CA. I've lived here in Eureka since 1973 and joined the Libertarian Party in 1992. This blog will mostly focus on local political issues, but I may stray into state and national issues as well, when I can't help myself. Please post your comments by clicking on the "comments" link at the bottom of each post. Although I do moderate comments, you need not be a registered user to post them.

Problem is, no one wants to give up their personal vehicles and use reason for using public transit, or even share rides.
You can see it here locally. Until it is forced on the people, it will never happen. Vehicle congestion and traffic accidents will be here.
Idea of provately owned express ways would be great, as long as it was not so costly to construct. But even here, they would be abused, you think?
I don't believe that privatization of the roads is a great idea, Fred. We need to get back to promoting carpools, ride sharing, reducing speed to 55 to save gas, and try and live closer to where one works. I am sure glad I don't have to live in LA.
I like reason.

I might well agree with you, Carol. However, if it works, what's the problem?
Some of the examples Carey gives of private roads and tunnels were paid for with private dollars and seem to work. Not sure about that toll road in Los Angeles he refers to, though.
While Carey argues it seems to run more efficiently that the government freeway next to it, that's probably only because few people want to pay the extra money to use it so it's less congested.
If all the people on the free freeway decided to pay the big bucks and use the toll road, I'm sure that road would be just as congested as the freeway.
It seems to be a two tiered system where, if you can afford it, you can use the fast lane. If not, you're stuck in the slow lane and, if everybody could afford the fast lane, the fast lane wouldn't be fast anymore.
I think Drew Carey might be just kidding around. He is a comedian after all.
