Literally my thoughts as I try to navigate around Brisbane. A trip from the west to the airport can involve up to half a dozen tolls if you do it wrong.

This comment feels at odds with what you said about traffic being preferable to tolls. Although I suppose public transport is slower if you design a city around the concept of “fuck you, got mine”.
It’s also slower if you don’t live in a densely-packed city, which a lot of people don’t, because housing in densely-packed cities has a very high cost per square foot. There’s also no such thing as HOA-free housing in cities; the nature of multi-family housing makes such freedom impossible. Suburbs, too, are popular for a reason.
