This is mostly targeted at NIMBYs who are worried about high density housing hurting their property values. There could very well be environmental impact, though that’s not immediately clear. With so many people experiencing housing insecurity, I think the bigger issue right now for them is housing.
There are ways, but they’d be immensely unpopular with the corporate overlords, and thus, aren’t an option.
God forbid they close loopholes to stop the exporting of profits to overseas entities, for example. Along with all the other ridiculous tax avoidance wheezes multinationals use to obfuscate their way out of paying their fair share, we could cover the welfare budget twice over and have change left.
Thank you for that information. I guess there isn’t the simple solution of “tax the rich”, because it’s more nuanced than that?
So long as that red tape being removed isn’t going to negatively affect the environment or anything like that?
