By invoking eminent domain to seize properties for parking, Boston had forfeited tax revenue; by subsidizing parking spaces, it had forgone transit revenue. Garages, Berkley added, also caused congestion, detracted from the street’s “scenic appeal,” and reduced the taxable value of transit-adjacent properties.

Even when higher speed limit signs are posted, some number of people will still choose to drive 5-15 mph faster than the posted limit. These “high-end” speeders travel even faster as speed limits rise and typically spread out over a wider range of speeds. This can increase the likelihood of crashes because people are traveling at increasingly different speeds, and increases the likelihood that crashes will be fatal because they occur at higher speeds.
