Shitty of San Freakcisco is contemplating a similar "toll". Think
they are missing an opportunity myself...as the area of town where
they want to charge tolls is in the big cross streets South Of
Market. In that area, they should charge a thrill fee, as you are
taking your life in your hands by believing the other drivers will
stop if their light is red.

Here's one:

A Google search on _"new york"_highways_privatize_ yields quite a
few other hits. Adding _Attica_ might yield an interesting history
lesson about such legislative wisdom.
