Our economy is fundamentally feudalistic, with a little meritocracy thrown in as a treat. Georgism kills the first bit.
And one fourth way that Condon is wrong is that he constantly posts claims like "City has become more dense but has not become more affordable, therefore density doesn't improve affordability". This is a really bad conflation of correlation & causation: Developers obviously…
If Taylor Swift sold more tickets to her concerts, would tickets be more affordable? NIMBY logic says no: - adding more tickets will induce demand, so prices won't go down - rich people will buy tickets and hold the seats empty - new tickets won't be affordable to poor people
Many such cases Them: "Show me the evidence that upzoning lowers rents." You: *shows a peer reviewed study that controls for macro factors to isolate the causal impact of upzoning* Them: "I don't care for manipulated studies, show me a real world upzoned city where rents are…
Burkhard Mausberg is the epitome of boomer entitlement. Despite being 800m away from TWO subway stations, his apparent problem was that there were 10 “luxury” units instead of 8. He lives in a HOUSE worth more than any of these new units. Peak environmental narcissist.

All the cost for infrastructure in Ontario are coming in at “maybe we should just never build anything ever again because we can’t afford it” levels. Our ability to build things is fundamentally broken and there is not accountability for the profiteers of all this.
A classic example of legalizing fourplexes having quantum interactions: it will simultaneously "not provide many infill opportunities" and destroy single-family neighbourhoods.

@GuyIncognito3 @mnolangray The value proposition was rural electrification, as well as residential development, and Our Progressive Betters thought they could do better with their greenbelt ideas.
Monopoly's inventor Liz Magie supported taxing land instead of work and productivity, because land monopolism is at the heart of poverty and inequality. She created the game to teach players this.
A note for "conservative" commentators -- There is nothing "conservative" about cities demolishing property rights and adding hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxes/red tape to new homes. Conservatives should be the loudest and most vocal opposition to municipal NIMBYs.

Agree 100% with Mike and Zoe here. I know from first hand experience that a lot of people involved in environmental policy in Canada are profoundly against climate resilient and dense communities.

I’m not convinced that there was ever any real intention of upzoning cities to make up for the greenbelt. Everything points to the greenbelt being part of a bigger trend of regulating and slowing down all kinds of development, because that’s the “progressive” thing to do.

it’s almost like “luxury” is just a marketing buzzword and the real reason housing is so expensive is that most of the country is suffering from a chronic housing shortage due to exclusionary zoning

People clam to hate property taxes, yet they voluntarily move to Texas where property taxes are very high.

I’m sure some folks will hate me for saying this, but Texas gets a lot right. - It is easy to build housing, it’s not taxed to an extreme level - Small permitting bureaucracy has made it a renewable energy leader - Property taxes are high, income taxes low, which is best!

@RM_Transit Pretty sure I can walk faster than Toronto street cars on a lot of occasions, at least that’s my recollection from the last time I was there.
@NForestar And a lot of the buses are so infrequent that you can also walk very far before one comes
Its amazing how poor local transit service - that is the streetcar and bus, are in central Toronto. Moving here I was surprised at the divide between people who claimed we need more subways vs other transit, but its unsurprising when buses and streetcars are so unreliable
@MikePMoffatt Very difficult to see affordable housing in Canada when development charges in major cities are rising by thousands of percent in the last few decades, this sets a higher and higher floor on housing prices
@ronmortgageguy @MikePMoffatt It’s just subsiding property taxes for existing homeowners (who have also paid lower DCs years ago & have gained a lot from housing market) as hiking it is not politically popular.

"Electricity is only 13% of primary energy!" Okay, but 38% of primary energy goes to - making electricity. If you want to talk in terms of primary energy, you have to look at the energy that goes into generators. That's what primary energy means - energy before conversion…
Primary energy is wrong, but not how you think. Primary energy gets criticized because it doesn’t take into account the losses that occur when converting and delivering energy. This makes fossil fuels look like they do more work than they really do because most of that energy…
