Yeah, but we also know school is more about free childcare that allows both parents to go to work than it is about actual education.
We also know that a large part of the real estate market is dependent on leasing office space.
Again, creating more homes drives down property value.
It also creates jobs for police officers, income for private prisons, and strips minorities of their rights.
This is once again an issue with the real estate market. Cutting the work week also cuts into profits of companies dependent on demand made from people commuting to and from work.
It's not that we don't take account of the results, it's just that the results do not benefit the nonsensical economic system we've adapted to. Our system does not create value from the things we have, it creates value from the things we withold.
Getting this stitched onto a throw pillow and plastered all over those "In This House We Believe" placards.
It's right up there with my "Lie. Cheat. Steal. " "Live. Laugh. Love." painting.
Ahh yes, another untapped market! Inspirational chachkies for billionaires.
Wow, I'm starting to think that maybe real estate shouldn't be a commodity subjected to market forces.
Be prepared to be assassinated by a jr level manager from Black Rock. Keep your head on a swivel. Bryce played lacrosse for Princeton, he don't miss son.
fair, but then how would houses be sold and bought?
they shouldn't.
then how would people move?
Taking a page from the Singapore HDB, housing can be sold/bought by the state, and prices are set by what the applicant can afford, rather than what the market is willing to pay. This allows residents to move to different locations, or change dwelling size to fit their currents needs (marriage, children, empty nesters, divorce, etc.).
I imagine this can work in a multi-city state, too... just need to make sure there is ample supply to allow for migrations without waiting lists.
Unlike rent control on rentals from a private market, price control for a majority public housing system can work, as a black market is hard to establish.
curious about how the value is calculated when selling if it is based on the applicant not the state/location of the property?
