I'd pay more property tax for a real solution that built freeways, widen roads, and even had a non-Anti-Car mass transit component. The real solution would include all these - unfortunately it seems the pro BRT side wants to hold on to the Anti-Car goal.

The thing is, BRT doesn't have to be (and isn't) anti-car, since the purpose of BRT isn't just to make public transit work better, but to get buses out of the way of cars and vice-versa.
I personally support BRT and I own a car. What I want to see is the best of both worlds - roads that let buses and cars flow smoothly and harmoniously.
Although it does seem that there is a faction in London that is anti-car, and some of those anti-car people work for the LTC and city hall. This, of course, has me scratching my head, because the faction within city hall is anti-car, but won't do anything meaningful to improve public transit.
How are people supposed to get around if they can't use cars but public transit services are poor and at best mediocre? The disconnect beggars belief.
