I don't understand the anti-all-tax sentiment. What is so bad about pooling resources, and taxing things that harm the city, as well as people who choose to live outside of it?

Anyway, you might be right. Some of the worst things imaginable were done with th best of intentions, I suppose. Anything we do has a strong possibility of creating unintended consequences. Problems should maybe be solved slowly, one at a time, to prevent confusion of results. Solutions should probably also be tested on a small scale, to play out real world scenarios.

Better transit and enforcing existing laws and ordinances might be enough to solve many problems. So, this whole issue should probably be shelved and reconsidered another day. Maybe it's time to work on other areas that aren't being properly addressed, or helping existing efforts... there are plenty.
