    for a country that supposedly values freedom its amusing to note how few things are considered freedoms:

    driving = freedom*

    walking = not freedom

    clean air = not freedom

    quality public transit = not freedom

    *with purchase of expensive vehicle

      And legally-required insurance, and being licensed by the State to operate it…

      It’s entirely consistent with freedom. Freedom to build with little thought to long term effects. Freedom from paying for infrastructure that benefits everyone.

      To do things correctly you need to restrict and regulate.
