You’re right about incentives. How about offering homeowners something for their trouble - e.g. if a neighborhood votes to rezone for higher density, all existing homeowners get a yearly rebate to offset some portion of their property tax. I guarantee most people value cash in their pocket now more than some nebulous property value at an undisclosed time in the future.
- blackflame7000 8y agoI’m all for incentives but you also don’t want to further eviscerate the middle class by slowly turning them from owners of houses to renters in skyrises.
- daniel-cussen 8y agoThey can by all means be owners in skyrises.
- blackflame7000 8y agoA skyrise is vastly more expensive both to construct and because of the demand to be at the top.
- aeternus 8y agoWhy does it matter if the top is expensive? There can be 60+ floors all at different price points as well as a commercial space on the ground floor.
- blackflame7000 8y agoAre you willfully ignoring just how expensive high rises are to make your point? You can easily pay several million dollars for a coffin on the 3rd floor in new york. I don't want to live in a world like that.
