I saw someone mention the land value tax a bit back on the thread. That’s the kind of idea that could really save our cities. Yes, some people will have to downsize and some businesses will have to sell, but I don’t feel much pity for them because they will be benefiting from the enormous land lift that comes from a truly free development market.
It’s like people in Point Grey complaining about property tax increases. “Waaah I’m on a pension, I can’t afford this.” Old man, you live in a $5M house.
