On the gas tax idea, while people may not end up driving less I think they would choose MPG over size.
Instead of a gas tax, build affordable housing near places where we can work. My city has a lot of office buildings downtown and one luxury apartment complex. Then we have a fancy new mall area near the airport and more luxury apartments. Then a bunch of big businesses all outside the northern outerbelt with more luxury housing. I'm trying to move closer to my work and my budget can handle a double in housing costs but the houses near my work cost triple what mine does now. I don't need a family room and formal dining room and den and vaulted ceiling and hundreds of square feet, just a basic house. Someone build those in Columbus OH and I'll buy one.
