This sounds reasonable on the face of it, but actually it’s not. I can’t think of many policies that might not introduce some inequality somewhere in society. That’s an unrealistic standard.
Increasingly inequality is of course something we should be mindful of when designing policy though.
I beg to differ. I see ensuring a level playing field while preventing abuse, as pretty much the only valid reason for any (internal) policy at all. Everything else is just history being written by the winners.
Agreed, the negative effects of air pollution, noise pollution and car dependency are mostly borne by the poor.
