Sometimes taxpayers end up paying also. A large construction project here was partially funded by tax deductions and similar revenue tricks. "Creating Jobs." Unfoprtunately, this included a large parking structure for exclusive use of the company, along with demolition of a public parking structure right across the street that would have competed with it. Watch these local projects and you get some understanding of how we all finance the car economy.

Just about every street in any city is real estate provided by tax payers and offered free to any car that wants to park there.
