Our policies are mostly geared around creating never-ending strip malls, endless suburban neighborhoods, and omnipresent traffic issues. Because these things most efficiently create tax revenue, happy "what my parents had" families, and income segregated areas.
I doubt that they are most efficient at generating tax revenue, especially when considering density and infrastructure maintenance.
- Ericson2314 5y agoYes that is true. They are worse on all counts in the medium-long term but we do it anyways.

Mixed housing along with ground level commercial spaces even in the poorest of downtown districts generate more tax revenue. The problem is when crime and other forms of blight lead to people not living or working in those places anymore.
- ethbr0 5y agoIt's a tricky argument to say they're better at generating tax revenue, if only people changed their habits and preferences... ;)
