NZ Herald article on congestion charges in Auckland

Rachael from Titirangi

After reading this article, I felt a quiet urge to throw out a suggestion and see what people think. Remember that it is only a suggestion open for discussion and does not, in any way, warrant any criticism of any kind. If your comments are of a constructive nature then it will be welcomed.

This article talks quite often about Auckland City being a low-density City, meaning that the majority of Auckland's population lives outside of the CBD simply because people are trying to find an affordable housing solution outside of the CBD.
We all pay for our roading either through taxes, vehicle registration, petrol/diesel prices and/or Rates.
My suggestion is this: If our local and regional Government can play a hand in vastly decreasing the cost of inner city dwellings to make it affordable for the average wage earner ( $16 pr/hr), then wouldn't this have a remarkably improved impact on the amount of inner city commuters entering the CBD via private vehicle?
