The polls in the Italian city are framed as an existential dilemma over whether to change course in the face of overtourism and the unstoppable rise in sea levels
No idea how it works in London… but my concern is that using fees and taxes to reduce things sometimes practically turn into “This thing is now only for rich people”.
I knew a guy who was a giant piece of shit and would park his Lamborghini anywhere and just eat the parking tickets. He’d get like $400 a day and he just didn’t care because he had the money. The rules are just for poor people if the penalty is just a fine.
My concern is that with a simple taxation approach, Venice becomes where bezos jets to whenever he wants, and I literally can no longer go. He already had a leg up, this just deepens the gap.
There are ways to address it. A lottery system. Or at the very least make the tax scale with wealth (like how some Nordic countries do speeding tickets)
