I agree that there is a limit to the "just charge people what each option costs and let market forces sort it out" capitalist utopian idea. Some are willing to pay large amounts for convenience that causes harm to many others.

At some point we just have to make decisions about land use and infrastructure. Do we want this space dedicate to driving and parking for cars with one person who can afford to pay congestion charges, or instead used for busses, dedicated bike roads, etc. that can move more people in less space with less pollution and less risk of serious injury.
