One of the best videos ever made on how land value tax could help address the housing crisis. By @bcgeu.bsky.social

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.

Workers are overtaxed and 'double-billed': they pay tax on income, which funds public goods that raise their rent. The late economist Fred Foldvary said this is a major cause of income inequality and why we should tax land instead of wages.

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.

"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."

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.

When a neighbourhood improves, owners get the wealth; renters pay that wealth. This is a fundamental imbalance in our society that land value tax solves.

GenSqueeze's Paul Kershaw tells the hard truth about Canada's housing crisis: "To restore affordability for all, we need home prices to minimally stall or fall, so that earnings have a chance to catch up... 70% of Canadians support this." It's time to tax land, not paycheques.

BC land value "increased by over $1 trillion over a decade. It tripled." — Paul Finch, President of BC General Employees' Union This is the largest transfer of public to private wealth happening before our eyes.

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.
