I made a choice to move my family further out and thankfully, I can pay for the privilege of using the Greenway. No one’s forcing anyone to take a toll road to get to places. If you don’t want to pay, there are plenty of roads to take into work. Yes, it may take a bit longer to get there, but you don’t have to pay out of your pocket to use it.
I know nothing about the area, but am curious: Who paid for this road? Taxpayers? If that's the case, you both need to remove your blinders and get an angry hardon.

Me too. It’s kind of like the old days with the telephone company - that too should have been deregulated, let them charge whatever they can get away with - have the government make damn sure that no one can come close to competing with them (in the case of toll roads, it’s non-compete clauses that prevent building or even upgrading parallel roads), and then tell the people that complain about the cost of using their phone to go use the Postal Service and send letters back and forth. LOL.
Sorry, but unlike many here, I DO have a problem with unregulated monopolies.
