"If we want real affordability we need to stop pretending that supply alone can fix this crisis. No matter how much we build investor demand is growing even faster."

"Land. That's where the money is." It's time to stop taxing income from work more than land.

B.C. could eliminate taxes on income, property, transfer, and SVT with a single tax on land value. It could leave most households ahead and make the tax system much fairer.

"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.

Jeff Bezos: "The bottom half workers pay 3% of all taxes – it should be zero" There is a much better option than taxing working people. If the goal is fairness, start with land. It benefits from society's productivity without contributing back.

There are 2 markets for homes: 1) for living 2) for wealth creation These 2 are fundamentally at odds. Homes can't both be affordable and great investments.

"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."

Our biggest challenges in housing, poverty, and productivity stem from our relationship to land. No policy will make homes affordable or end poverty without making land a worse long-term investment.

It's completely absurd that a city like Toronto has so much low-density housing around transit. The incentives are all backwards. It should be more profitable, not less, to build & maintain homes than to hold land underused.

The drone came to wake him up, but ultimately made him go back to sleep.

People love to mock survival until survival knocks on their door. I rebuilt through surgeries. I rebuilt through instability. I rebuilt through business losses. I rebuilt through rooms that were not designed to include me. I rebuilt while still showing up, following up, documenting, working,
