If we want affordable homes, we must break our addiction to high and rising home prices, which come mostly from land values.

"This isn't about socialism. This is about proper capitalism. If you've invested in something, surely you want access to it." — Economist Mariana Mazzucato on why the public should not only share the risks of innovation, but the rewards too.

The public has funded many technologies that today fuel massive private sector rents (excess profit). Economist Mariana Mazzucato believes we should better share this co-created wealth, through policies like citizen's dividends.

"Land value tax makes housing affordable overnight. It pushes landowners to either sell or develop, and it starts to cost to deprive the community of the housing it needs." - @opportunityparty.info

Would you vote for a policy that makes homes more affordable, but noone could profit much from rising home prices? This is the trade-off we need to ask for future generations.

How to unf**k the economy This finance expert says tax land. Land rents are effectively a tax on the next generation and workers. We should AXE THE TAX on young people by sharing land value better. This is how to unf**k Canada

"My paycheck goes straight to rent -- there's nothing left." How many Canadians see 50-100% of their income get sucked up by land rents and income taxes? We should untax work, and shift taxes to the rental value of land.

"It would give everyone a minimum stake in the success of the country, of capitalism." Investor Bill Ackman says we should give every baby born money invested in index funds, a form of 'universal basic capital' to address inequality. "By 65 it's a million dollars."

There's hope yet for the next generation. Tax the land. LVT🫱🏻‍🫲🏼UBI

I highlighted the need for access to banking services in areas like Caversham and Emmer Green that have seen all the local branches close in recent years, and how this particularly affects older and vulnerable residents. I am calling for a Banking Hub in our community.
