Housing would be a lot more affordable if big cities didn’t have “economies of scale”, “network effects”, and “agglomeration”

Just put an international airport, world class university, and state of the art hospital in Lethbridge.

So much of our standard of living is from investments made 50+ yrs ago that are slowly being sold off to a PE fund in Cincinnati

Biggest problems with the economy is just inequality. Every big problem from housing, to unemployment, to inflation, is really just a problem for people that don’t already have $1M

@unlearnecon.bsky.social I’ve been watching a lot of Gary Stevenson. Do you know if there’s any research on public services dropping as a percent of income? Or how much costs increase when public services are sold off?

What do you think about using wealth taxes to fight inequality?

I think you could charge a couple basis points on stocks and land. Make TFSA/RRSPs exempt. You’d basically give regular folk a discount on the assets that the uber rich use to make inequality worse
