Hey, @novascotiahealth.bsky.social, when will Covid vaccines be available? Other provinces have already started rolling them out. What’s the hold up? Many of us would like to get them asap given infections are already on the rise.

Oh that's right. I made a graph of this for a video. Different parts of Halifax are taxed at radically different rates despite having roughly the same headline rate. Places that cost more to seevice per person are generally taxed at lower rates.

A bar chart showing the current effective tax rate and estimated tax rate needed to break even in service costs. Urban fistricts pay upwards of double the necessary rates to cover their service costs.

This was something a lot of housing advocates saw coming a mile away when the immigration cuts were announced. The fundamental stance of Canadian cities is that they prefer high prices to building housing. They love high prices. Easing off immigration was never going to change that.

Post by me from 7 months ago stating that cities are a bottleneck to growth.

Polling for congestion pricing is always bad before a city implements it. Then it rapidly improves once residents experience faster traffic, quieter streets, and better transit service. As a European city official once told me, " “You have to make people happy against their will."

1. Remember that any attempt to paint Long Covid as psychogenic in nature deliberately and completely incorrectly biologically decouples SARS-CoV-2 infection from Long Covid. In essence, this rhetoric shifts the causative factor for LC from the virus to the patient's mind.
