Or, just abolish any ownership of property except demonstrated by active personal (or organizational) use. We could have been planning cities decades ago and avoided the current real estate hellscape.
- ethanbond 6y agoOr don’t do any of that, create a ridiculously simple tax (LVT) that has no dead weight loss, incurs no inefficiency, distorts no prices, reduces no ones freedoms, has no additional overhead (these values are already assessed/taxed in many places), and get all the same benefits.
- monadic2 6y agoSure but then you have to deal with a real estate market resulting in irrational collective decision making. Also, by all observation, the market is restricting the freedom of people to live under a roof in their own city.
- ethanbond 6y agoThis system creates no collective decision making nor does it restrict any freedoms. If you believe that it does, you should look further into the LVT proposal.
