Well, in California specifically (and the Bay Area even more specifically), how do you think that would be fair for lower middle class service employees commuting 2hrs+ each direction every day to get to their jobs on the peninsula or in the city?  In this case, a use tax just penalizes people who have already been marginalized due to decisions municipalities have made about RE development.<p>I&#x27;d be more in favor of increasing property taxes to cover more highway infrastructure than I would taxing the vehicles themselves.  And for that matter, Prop 13 has to go.
