@Noahpinion not sure you can solve this problem w/out destroying a lot of real estate wealth, and tanking the economy in the process.
@kimmaicutler How about a land value tax (i.e. property tax with tax credits for development)? That should grow the economy, right?
@Noahpinion wouldn't that destroy property values (at least initially or in the short-term)?
@kimmaicutler Not destroy, but reduce, sure. But it would raise the value of capital and human capital (labor).
@Noahpinion I mean quite literally, they want things to be affordable and they don't want things to change.
@kimmaicutler Well, I want a magic halberd that lets me fly and shoot fire and be invincible, but it ain't gonna happen.
@Noahpinion right. But they're older and they don't get it. And they don't have to get it bc their housing is secure.
@kimmaicutler @Noahpinion FWIW "collapse the economy to build a new societal arrangement" is classic college debate argument called "dedev"
@ArmandDoma @kimmaicutler It would not "collapse the economy". That's not even a meaningful phrase, and anyway density is good for growth!
@Noahpinion @ArmandDoma I'm writing some historical essays on this. I'm not really sure they're a fit for @TechCrunch but whatever!
