Financial incentivizes cities shape our cities, and with surface parking lots, its no different. We must stop incentivizing them. open.substack.com/pub/progressan…


We’ve filled the Monopoly board. Gen Z is running around the board with no properties to buy. Something’s got to give. open.substack.com/pub/progressan…


"Replace the ad hoc carve-outs, the bargaining, and the quiet favoritism with a simple rule that aligns private incentives with public goals. Exempt buildings universally." open.substack.com/pub/progressan…

So You Want to Abolish Property Taxes Republicans have been talking about abolishing property taxes. This is a bad idea. It undermines economic growth and housing affordability. We’ve already run this experiment and know where it leads: California-style de-growth death spiral.
