What's cool is that around the same time they were implemented in Qingdao, China, and they were a huge success! progressandpoverty.substack.com/p/the-curious-… Maybe the Liberal party just sucked at implementation? Lesson from history: do the implementation right!

HUD's Location Affordability Index ranks cities by average household expenditures on housing & transport It's true that Houston rent+transport is comparable to NYC when you include subsidized & rent stabilized units! But those low rents aren't available to marginal residents

Lots of great stuff here from Lars (as always) including an alternative to a vacancy tax that could actually pass muster at the state level. Thinking of you @QuintonLucasKC open.substack.com/pub/progressan…

Proposals to cut property taxes are increasing. They continue a trend of protecting landholders at the expense of the working class. There's better solutions.

@larsiusprime It's a doubly bad idea at state level, because interstate competition is higher. People can and will move but houses can't, which makes property/land tax ideal in those circumstances.
