If we think developers are making too much money we should raise income taxes instead of taxing new homes.

And it blows my mind because like, even if your the "only social housing and nonmarket housing should be built" type leftist How are you going to build that social housing when 70% of your city is single family zoned so you pay out the ass for land and then 500k in fees before you break ground?

They will simply repeal the fifth amendment to the constitution and expropriate people’s homes.

Or, how are we going to build social housing to the scale needed when we the US only has about 1.1 million units of public housing, most of which was built 50 years ago? We’re not. Even if we had federal leadership which supported it, which we don’t.
