text: For once, I agree with Wynne.  Road tolls are ok but the infrastructure and operating costs are too expensive.  In addition, the time to set that all up was going to take a couple of years.   Toronto residents need to pay higher property taxes.  I understand that higher density should be less tax because the costs are shared.  I also understand that there are those who can't afford higher taxes, especially the low income and elderly who no longer have an income.  However,  what we've seen is that all the services, infrastructure repairs, and upgrades cost a lot more money than was ever expected.  The materials and labour costs have gone through the roof.  The costs are just too high.   Residents in other municipalities pay more taxes, and don't get nearly as many services as Toronto residents.
