> Politically, we must stop prioritizing the views of homeowners at the local level. They already got their reward, massive unearned capital gains on their residence, there's no need to give them priority on land use over the general needs of society. They are the majority of people in most areas, so it does make sense that they would be given priority in some ways. The rest of your post is unsubstantiated vitriol, which isn't exactly convincing. | ||

You quoted my vitriol to the homeowners, the rest is not vitriol, it's basic land economics. > They are the majority of people in most areas, so it does make sense that they would be given priority in some ways. In some ways sure. But in the ways that they are? Absolutely not, it's basic unfairness. The entire tax system is tilted in favor of home owners. We don't need to do that, we could make it more equal so that people with less wealth are not penalized. | ||
