Could you flesh your idea a bit more? I don't relish digging through that meandering blog post from a random author.

- eru 11y agoI was actually looking for this http://jakeseliger.com/2015/12/27/why-did-cities-freeze-in-the-1970s/ http://jakeseliger.com/2015/12/27/why-did-cities-freeze-in-t... and we had an interesting discussion going at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10798352 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10798352 Both might still be a bit too rumbling. If you want the least rambling, the Economist is almost always the way to go: http://www.economist.com/blogs/freeexchange/2015/04/land-value-tax http://www.economist.com/blogs/freeexchange/2015/04/land-val...

- eru 11y agoLand Value Tax good. NIMBYs bad.
- meddlepal 11y agoBasically American cities stopped growing at a rate sufficient to handle the boom in people in the mid-late 20th century. Now there is huge demand on cities to house people affordably but the entrenched powers that be in these areas prevent the necessary development through tools like zoning or bureaucracy. The whole system is basically fucked. Sigh.
