You might know how land value tax could address the housing crisis, or how inclusionary zoning creates affordable housing.
But something unique happens when you combine the two.

TIL Minnesota has introduced a land value tax bill. Not sure how likely it is to pass, but Minneapolis might become America's first housing utopia with LVT and a single family zoning ban.

I love unions and am a member of one. But just a thought experiment: if unions were not a thing (they are dangerously close to that), what would be the best way to achieve worker rights in the present economy?

It's so great to see support for land value taxes (LVTs) becoming mainstream.
We're going to need state level reform to legalize LVTs in most parts of the US, but cities where it's already allowed (like Philadelphia) should implement it immediately.
