Basically make em pay if you live way the F out.

We already know that tolls (in the way we currently conceive of them) don't work. You go to where your job is, and pay whatever you have to pay (transit, gas, tolls, parking, etc) to get there. These are "small enough" to be rolled into the greater COL.
If we were serious about using tolls to disincentivize sprawl, they'd be raised by a factor of ten. Want to live in Dripping but need to work DT? That'll be $35 one way.
FWIW, I don't think that's feasible, but IMO that's the sort of thing we'd have to enact to keep traffic to levels that we wouldn't have to increase the road infrastructure.
