In Nashville, the government has just made it illegal to use city streets without contributing additional city tax dollars.

Here's how it breaks down. There's a very popular area of downtown which lends itself to an activity called "cruising". Cruising is simply driving in a certain pattern without a specific destination. Roads in Tennessee are funded by taxes on gasoline. This means that government loves "cruisers" right, because the burn more gas...nope. In the supposed interest of downtown businesses, they have now made sure that downtown streets will remain empty. I guess downtown just got too popular. We can't have that, now can we?
