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.

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.

Toronto landlord who owns 30,000 houses explains why young people don't want homes. Remember, your income is taxed way more than their land profits.

Many people wonder why land value tax won't just raise rents. Answer: you can't create or destroy land. That's why economists consider it the 'least bad' (even 'perfect') tax. It could lower income or property taxes and encourage more housing supply.

Noone's talking about what we actually need, which is for prices to come down. The desire to get wealthy off land values is incompatible with the need for affordable homes. Again, no politicians are even acknowledging this.

Paying everyone dividends from wealth we all have a moral claim to - whether that's natural resources, social wealth funds, or AIs trained on our data - is how we achieve Keynes' vision of 20-hour workweeks. It's how we achieve a Star Trek economy.

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

UBC's Patrick Condon has 3 solutions to the housing crisis, and it's all about land. 1. Stop using tax dollars to boost demand even more. 2. Capture land value to benefit the public, not speculators. 3. Use that value to build affordable housing.

"We should have a shift from taxing earned incomes to taxing wealth and ecological invasions of our commons, and thereby build up a Commons Fund from which we could pay a basic income." - Guy Standing

"There has been a plunder of the commons... and they've been turned into sources of huge rental income. That is illegitimate, that is unjust, that has no moral principle justifying what's been happening and we should be very angry." — Guy Standing

This graduation season, schools across the U.S. have continued their attempts to silence pro-Palestine speech. Rutgers professor Noura Erakat says repression of Palestine protest only spreads outwards. "We are the Trojan horse to bring in these policies that will affect everyone."

Planned Parenthood has had to roll with the punches over the past few years, but what Alison Rhone and her team put at the forefront is clarity: Ensuring that the folks who follow Planned Parenthood know the facts, how changing laws impact them, and know where to get the care they need.

Trump's economic approval is not just the lowest in either of his terms. His net approval is lower than that of any president for any term. He's making the type of history that no president likes to make.

Thousands of federal retirees can’t get their retirement documents. They call OPM & get busy signals & endless hold times. Director Scott Kupor gave us a partial response & omitted critical info. I’m demanding real answers. I won’t stop until federal retirees get the benefits they earned.

Does he enjoy lying? The PM is NOT instructing his lawyers not to put property rights first in court. He is NOT signing deals with First Nations that do not protect homeowners. The PM unlike PP consults, listens to and RESPECTS all stakeholders when making a decision. ‼️SHAME ON PP‼️
