The only obvious alternative would be a local income tax.
If they want to help pensioners (for whom CT is a major cost) they could give them a rebate.

I get the sense that we're doomed (and that we deserve to be if we're generating an elite so incapable).

Kollberg is exactly this guy but of course he isn't the protagonist.
He's a Watson who doesn't take any shit from his boss.

But maybe there was a scene where The Doctor praised really strong coffee.

I vote for Ephesus, since it's on the sea and The Temple of Diana is cool.
