The citizens pay for the infrastructure. Yes. That’s how it works. You want mail? You want your package delivery? You want your grubhub? You want things to be in stock at the stores you shop at? You want the farmers at the farmer’s market to be able to bring your their sweet corn? Even if you don’t drive, you use the roads. All of the time, every day. This myth of “I don’t drive” or, “I ride a bike” or whatever excuse is en vogue today, it’s reductionist logic that doesn’t hold up. You belong to a society that uses infrastructure, and as a member, you use it as well.
