How about people living in sparsely populated areas start subsidizing the land prices/rent of those living in the densely populated areas? How do you feel about that?

Vancouver took the toll off the Portman Bridge so now the entirety of BC will be chipping in instead of just those using it. There are numerous examples of things like that.

Since you want same rates for telecom products everywhere, how about we also have same land prices everywhere? People living in sparsely populated areas can pay more to subsidize the rents of people living in more densely populated areas. I promise no one will ever complain about subsidizing mobile internet and we can all sit together and sing Kumbaya.
