5. Better to have free parking, and higher fuel taxes
than making everyone pay for parking but keeping fuel taxes low. It's the burnt fuel that's the problem, not the amount of room a parked car (which could be an electric car) takes up.
8. Why should someone who parks pay a tax, when it's the fuel that's the problem?
The problem is the carbon dioxide; so tax the problem (the carbon-containing fuel), not a side-effect. What are you going to do, install parking meters on all roadside parking places? Why should someone who drives a fuel-efficient car 2 miles to a mall pay the same fee as someone who drives a gas guzzler 15 miles to the same mall?
Some people play where you get $20 bucks for landing on it. Others put all the Community Chest money under it. If you play with no cash, it's kind of a bummer to land on it because you can't buy any properties or draw cards.
