We need a lot more units. That's it. All these crazy schemes with lotteries, vouchers, and set asides are all unnecessary. We just need more units.
Remove the laws that prevent building more units and tax the value of the land as opposed to the value of the property as a whole. That second part encourages maximum use of the land, which generally means more units.
Other than that, work on the infrastructure to support the new units and get out of the way.
- TheAdamAndChe 10y agoHow about disincentivizing the centralization of jobs? Then housing wouldn't be ins such high demand in such a small geographic area and prices would go down.
