How land value tax (a tax *cut* on buildings) creates a virtuous cycle of development, reducing the price of both land and housing. …and how it can pair with inclusionary zoning to create even more affordable housing.
You might know how land value tax could address the housing crisis, or how inclusionary zoning creates affordable housing. But something unique happens when you combine the two. A Policy Alchemy for the Housing Crisis kaseyklimes.com/notes/2023/11/…
📣 come hear the good news
The wealth of a typical American household is way up since the pandemic. Inequality is down. Debt-to-income ratios are falling. Racial gaps, education gaps, urban-rural gaps, and age gaps have decreased. noahpinion.blog/p/great-news-a… 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🥳🥳🥳
TIL Minnesota has introduced a land value tax bill. Not sure how likely it is to pass, but Minneapolis might become America's first housing utopia with LVT and a single family zoning ban.
Let 1,000 economic policy research databases bloom! If you're looking for available datasets, @lenorepalladino's list here is a great resource. If you're looking for insights about a particular policy or topic (or a combo of both), we hope our site provides a useful tool

We need more experiments, and the public agrees! x.com/JohnHolbein1/s…
Does the public hate experiments? No! "We find that 75% support the idea of small-scale evaluations of policies before enacting them at a large scale." Experimentally varying whether the evaluations are called "experiments" has zero effect on public support of experimentation

One thing about the expanded child tax credit is that it seemed to work Really Well, & a huge majority of economists agreed: economicpossibility.org/insights/an-op…
In 2021, the expanded child tax credit pushed child poverty to the lowest rate on record. Then it expired, & child poverty more than doubled at record pace, like removing a weight from a loaded spring. What if we simply didn't do that? vox.com/future-perfect…
Census announces SPM child poverty rate of 12.4% in 2022. Context: from 1967 to 2021, the largest year-over-year increase in SPM child poverty rate was 10.7% (or 2.1 pp, 1980-1981). We now easily have a record increase in child poverty: a 139% increase (or 7.2 pp) from 2021-2022.
holy moly, child poverty rate rose from all-time low of 5.2% in 2021 to 12.4% (!!!) in 2022, reflecting end of temporary child allowance and other programs.
@jonathanhung A number of interesting ideas seem to straddle that line - clearly important & impactful, but not yet packaged in a legible policy prescription (which can also serve as a barrier to research). Definitely an arena we’re looking into (thanks for the point to @DarkMatter_Labs)
Our first three policy reports cast a wide net — ideas that have the potential for deep impact, a wide base of existing research, and less representation than they deserve. What policies would you want to see included next?
@jonathanhung Sounds like fertile soil. Ideally, we’re seeking policies that are concrete and discrete enough to have been implemented (even if in limited settings) and empirically studied. Participatory budgeting would probably fit the bill!
@jonathanhung Love this idea! Thanks for sharing.
