Transportation tidbits

If this is a capitalistic economy, shouldn't road users and developers be paying for what they use and cause?
Why should people who have lived in their neighborhood a long time have to contribute to new schools for far-away developments?
Especially when schools in nearby districts don't have enough students to keep schools open.
Should people in low-density areas be paying the same price for services, even though they can cost more to serve as a result of being spread out?
Why should businesses be required to provide a certain amount of parking?
Shouldn't the business and the marketplace decide what amount of parking to provide?
Why should sewer ratepayers have to pay $1 billion for the Big Pipe project when its been said that 40+% of storm water comes from roads?
Why should much of the transportation funding have to go through the Federal government and back? And that's happened much more for road projects than transit ones.
Why should transit riders be assigned the entire trip cost and not just the potion (seats) they use? Its not their fault that others don't ride.
Shouldn't discounts given to youth and the elderly be counted as person subsidies and not transit subsidies? After all, it doesn't cost less to transport them.
