I am once again begging the political right to actually care about property rights. The way to “increase the housing stock” is to let people actually build on, and freely use, their own property.

You know what's politically popular AND increases the housing stock AND follows through on the promises of the last election AND preserves the American wilderness? DEPORTATIONS

Haussmannian beauties

@LastByzantine @souljagoytellem Of course, they'd be smarter than most, but they also had far more resources to achieve that. Given Russia's shortages of educated people, they'd likely be nurses or teachers entirely through merit, but that skill didnt fall out of a coconut tree

If you have to pay property taxes you don’t actually own the land. It’s painful to acknowledge, but it’s true. We are not free people. We are people who pretend we are free because we’ve been told we are.

Blanket upzoning nightmare. Imagine you manage to buy a house so you can enjoy the backyard, have trees around you, kids can play outside and have some privacy. But the City of Calgary only cares for the profits of inner city developers at the expense of neighbourhood's well

What does this do? The most important part is that every agency has 365 days to list out all the regulations that have a criminal penalty and then that report has to be made public. Right now, there is literally no one on this planet that knows this information. No one.

There is a complete lack of accountability for Presidents once elected. A presidential candidate can tell voters whatever lies they want to get elected and do the opposite for four years without consequence. Which is exactly what’s happening now
