Public streets are public. That’s either true or it isn’t. There is no right to drive a car into the loop and park it for free. Never has been.
But if I choose to drive my elderly parents to the theatre and drop them off, that is my right. I’m already paying all the state taxes to fund those streets. And the economic activity of that theatre also pays for the streets.
Use taxes have their place. But if the loop is made artificially expensive, people will go elsewhere.
