Perhaps a Theology of Poetry - Committed To Heart in May If the word poetry said with a slightly pretentious English accent makes you roll your eyes then I can only imagine that the word theology barked seriously through tweed and pipe smoke might cause a d...

For similar reason that the majority of the housing stock built @ same time is so much more beautiful on the outside- almost no property tax on building values, more on land values. So there was no penalty for making things beautiful. Opposite now. Property tax in NYC is mostly on building value.

This is a great frame and I ache at seeing the philosophiacide - the glee some have in doing the destruction. It’s anti-relational and has forgetting as the tasteless communion wafer taken at the altar of ashes. You know my poetry work is part of my response. Blessings to you!

The Lice is so good.

Now I have to go PDF digging!

I mean I had no idea that this particular interview even happened and to find out (though I’m not shocked) that Lowell loved Jerrell! Nobody reads Jerrell anymore and it’s too bad!

I’m all in for AOC for president.

That’s built into the bill and the theory more broadly. More to say about this than could be tapped out here!

Those lots are basically not taxed at all. A minimal holding tax on building value. Rich LLCs who don’t care about our city of communities drain possibilities from NYC by taking loans on valuable land.

State Senator Cordell Cleare has a bill that would allow NYC to create fifth class (Class 5) for property tax that would tax vacant and abandoned property near to the full value of land. There is a lot of it in our city. That capital can never leave.
