Taxes on land value, pollution & IP should replace taxes on work. Split DC into 127 states to achieve a supermajority to make the Constitution fair. #LVT #UBI

UPZONING ALONE WON'T FIX THE HOUSING CRISIS; WE NEED TO HAVE A LAND VALUE TAX BECAUSE UPZONING GENERATES WINDFALL GAINS FOR LAND BANKERS. LVT WILL CAPTURE THIS VALUE FOR EVERYONE'S BENEFIT, ENSURES THAT UPZONING BOOSTS SUPPLY, AND INCENTIVIZES EFFICIENT MUNICIPAL GOVERNANCE.

YIMBY focuses on high rents, but rents are someone else's income, so this focus implies the worst effect is distributional when the bigger harm from supply restriction is people not being to live where they want.

Up zoning without LVT will prove the NIMBYs right. Up zoning with LVT will prove the NIMBYs wrong. Don't be a YIMBY without good Georgist tax theory in your toolbox or you'll cause a backfire to the affordable housing movement

Rent controls kills new construction because it lowers rents without reducing developers’ costs. Upzoning reduce developers’ costs — specifically land acquisition costs — which makes construction profitable even when rents aren’t rising.

When I point out that landlords cannot magically pass along their costs to renters, people get VERY mad Below is an example of how landlords can only charge what the market will bear. Sometimes they cover their costs. Sometimes not. Often, they don't even know their own costs!

We're taxing what people do earn from work MORE than what people don't earn from land. It's the opposite of what we should do and what's driving the housing crisis and poverty.

Commenters are like "mobile home parks are like this and it's not a good setup for the homeowners" without considering that land rent is taxed at a very low rate currently & that is the source of the setup being suboptimal for the mobile home residents, and an LVT would solve it.

The way you do this is by allowing land and houses to be sold separately, like Japan does. Incidentally, this also makes it easy to do a land tax.

the key to good rail infrastructure is unironically georgism. Japanese rail operates similarly: the firms don't just build trains, they develop the land around stations. the added land value from the infrastructure is how they finance themselves.

On top of that if we find a way to tax IPs, patents & issue UBIs from the revenue we get from LVT, it will solve 80% of our current problems, it's not just shifting policies (imo)but change of incentive for the political class that will be aligned with the best interest of common

@mnolangray Only missing land value tax reform. If we keep taxing labor and capital instead of the unearned income from rent seeking we can't get to the root of most problems

land value tax. LAND VALUE TAX. you tax the land not the building so there’s no penalty for building up and empty lot downtown stops being a free ride and suddenly everyone wants to build and the city funds itself and it’s elegant and it’s BEAUTIFUL and no one will do it. no one

People oftentimes bring up tall buildings blocking sunlight as a point against them as if making the city more walkable and bike friendly by providing shade and protection of the elements was bad.

As long as the North Carolina GOP's gerrymander of state legislative seats exists and is not being criticized by the voter ID people, their claims to "democratic legitimacy" in elections is BS.

Republicans: "Democrats shouldn't complain about the Senate or Electoral College, they should just try convincing people to vote for them." Also Republicans: "We need to control who comes into the country because we can't convince them to vote for us."
Logan Hall@loganclarkhall

Democrats: “lol if we ever come to power again we are going to flood the country with another 100 million illegals and throw you all in prison.” Senate GOP: “Ermmm guys… We can’t break with our precious norms and procedures and pass voter ID…”
