GeorgistSteve 🔰🏗️🌆🪩🗽 @georgiststeve.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Same people have opposed the project because they're worried it'll financially burden the City.

GeorgistSteve 🔰🏗️🌆🪩🗽 @georgiststeve.bsky.social · 21/09/2026The NIMBYs of Bainbridge Island are currently apoplectic that the City is thinking of applying for state funds to support an affordable housing project. Getting money from the state for affordable housing, the horror! 1110

GeorgistSteve 🔰🏗️🌆🪩🗽 @georgiststeve.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Thanks for sharing this, it was very persuasive for me. I now believe that we need to *checks your notes* upzone for greater densities, simplify permitting and weaken local control of planning. 160
Reposted by GeorgistSteve 🔰🏗️🌆🪩🗽Spokane Rising @spokanerising.com · 17/09/2026Expanding unfunded inclusionary zoning taxes to cover middle housing across the entirety of Seattle would render HB1110 functionally inoperative. Perversely, it would also be a dramatic step backward for housing equity, since it would make high-resource neighborhoods even more exclusive. 0385
GeorgistSteve 🔰🏗️🌆🪩🗽 @georgiststeve.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Something that gets overlooked about the Auckland Upzoning is that it occurred right after 7 pre-existing district councils were amalgamated into a single unitary authority.

GeorgistSteve 🔰🏗️🌆🪩🗽 @georgiststeve.bsky.social · 05/09/2026By that logic, renters *also* have the same cost of having to find housing, for every month of the rest of their life, and with no home equity to draw on. By this logic, renters essentially carry a massive debt they have to pay. And for an 18 year old with 60y of life left, that debt is around $1m. 170
GeorgistSteve 🔰🏗️🌆🪩🗽 @georgiststeve.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Homeowners will say stuff like "my home isn't real wealth because if I sold it I would still need somewhere to live so I'd have to buy another house in the same market". This implies that their home equity is essentially wiped out by an equal and opposite cost of having to find alternative housing. 120
GeorgistSteve 🔰🏗️🌆🪩🗽 @georgiststeve.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Oh, you're saying that land enclosure has deeply indebted future generations, enabling their hard earned income to be extracted by landowners for the mere right to physically exist somewhere? That sounds like such a horrific injustice that it would justify aggressive policy intervention to remedy. 2587
GeorgistSteve 🔰🏗️🌆🪩🗽 @georgiststeve.bsky.social · 04/09/2026If you pull the thread of "why isn't your home equity real wealth", most homeowners will offer an explanation that implies that today's 18 year-olds leave home with around $1 million in debt. Which has some... fairly consequential Georgist implications. 2544
