1. Stop restricting what can be built, especially in the super valuable city centers 2. Shift taxes off of building (which punishes development) and onto the passive holding of lan…

This is a good resource on the question -- Land Value Tax is not passed on to tenants, the landlord eats it. This is pretty unique among taxes, which is why LVT is a particularly g…

Although they key thing here is that it's not just that effect, but emergent unintended consequences. In the article, it describes how non profit healthcare institutions have an in…
