Alas, I'm just passing through. Doing my duty to counteract the "people on Bluesky are celebrating Charlie Kirk's murder" disinfo gigaslop I keep seeing on the bad place

One standard way to start with LVT is to raise the millage on land and lower the millage on improvements in a revenue-neutral way, so there's no short-term loss of municipal revenue.

This is the way.

Same. Once I hit 10k, I had to seriously reconsider whether I wanted to be known for dunking on people. (Being a dad and wanting to set a good example for my kid helped)

I don't like the fact that vaguely lib-coded spaces (e.g. TPOT) are friendly to/tolerant of reactionaries, but "left" spaces are just as bad in this regard–the Bobby Salvins and John Mirisches of the world are viewed as "left" even though their land use opinions are right of Tucker Carlson

I realize that, according to this second (idiosyncratic) definition, even privately-owned market-rate housing would qualify as a "public good", and I've happily died on that hill

No (insofar as it's excludable and rivalrous) but also yes (insofar as it benefits everyone)

Nothing is more radical than expecting a private entity to furnish a public good

I don't know exactly what the Venn diagram of "TPOT" versus "SSC readership" looks like but probably worth noting that
1. there's a lot of overlap
2. most readers of SSC are lib-left; almost 2/3 identify as either social democrats or American liberals, and around 20% identify as libertarian
