This article starts with a conclusion and works backwards without any legitimate attempt at analysis. For example, I have no idea on what basis one could argue that a fixed "real estate fee" is more rational, effective or fairer than conventional property taxes. > This is the same for everyone no matter what the assessed value of the dwelling. The fee is $12 a month for our co-op apartment in Stockholm. If we owned the same property in Madison, our taxes would be $18,000 a year. Is their co-op apartment worth $2mm USD or something? The argument that Sweden achieves better outcomes overall is valid, but that doesn't make every thing they do perfect.
