And your argument against it is a bit deceiving. First off, we don't even know if streets would be owned or grids (like areas owned instead of strips). Secondly, with the technology we have in electronic transponders, we don't need toll booths. You can drive right by a "booth" without even having to slow down.
But what streets would be you be paying for? Major highways are one thing, but secondary roads and streets? You'd need a transponder on every block to decide which road was valuable and who was using it. And what do you do if it loses money? Close it?
It just won't work.
