We need to eliminate zoning and replace current property taxes with land-value taxes.
>>543721868Correct. But to simply eliminate zoning will not solve all our problems. To do this properly we have to dismantle the entire oligopoly that writes the rules on how buildings must be manufactured and maintained.
>>543721868>We need to eliminate zoningFuck off back to India with that shit.>land-value taxes.Let me guess, this is some scheme that involves you getting free shit and some other poor asshole having to pay for it?
>>543722680To put it simply boomers created the industrial standards for home manufacturing centered around the automotive industry and has slowly wormed its way into law- essentially building the ladder and then bringing it up with them. Ever want a conspiracy theory? Investigate what the International Code Council is, then look at where it's headquartered. They hold the keys to your frustrations.
>>543722680I'm not sure of all the rules and regulations, but I do understand some like no buildings above a certain height within a certain radius around an airport.
>>543722900Oh, there's a lot of laws made to protect existing interests from innovation and competition. Shit's fucked up.>>543722840Poo brain
>>543722900>boomersSo you've got all the money, tools, skills, and materials put by, own some land already but what's holding you back from home ownership is people born in the 1940s having building codes?Why not just fuck off to your ancestral homeland where you can cob together a shack out of whatever scraps you find laying around in some shanty-town with your kin?
>>543723062Why do you think white people made up zoning laws? Under your new proposed tax system how much would you wind up paying?
>>543723111Why so pissy, honey? I'm all for common sense practice when it comes to building standards- but you can't enable an entire industry to standardize how and where I can build something on my own land.
>>543722840>>543723111>>543723161Why is it this ONE topic pisses people off so damn much?Seems you have something to lose, darling:)
>>543722840India has zoning.>>543723161Depends on the value of their land. That's the whole point of the tax. You build a mansion in Wyoming? Expect the tax to be significantly lower than what you pay now. Living in the bay area in a house built in the 60s? You're fucked. But for most people, the difference would be negligible.
>>543723338It's all from the same shit-for-brains anon. Shithead can't stop bringing up India.
