5. All neighborhoods should have access to diverse mobility options. Pittsburgh should not assume that low density and auto dependence are permanent or inevitable conditions.

4. Civic amenities should be allowed in all neighborhoods. Housing growth without parks, schools, or public amenities is incomplete.

3. The current built environment should be conforming. Our land use plan should reflect the city that exists, not impose a suburbanized or over-segregated model on an older urban fabric.

2. Neighborhood amenities should be allowed in all neighborhoods. We should help neighborhoods function well for the people who live there.

1. Diverse housing should be allowed in all neighborhoods, including neighborhood-scale multifamily housing by right in every district.

Pittsburgh is currently in the midst of the final stages of Pittsburgh 2050 - the comprehensive plan for Pittsburgh’s next 25 years. Pro-Housing Pittsburgh proposes a vision based on five principles to ensure a future of equitable growth. 🧵

Policy - Land Value Taxes — Pro-Housing Pittsburgh This is the third entry in our Policy series. Here we discuss what Land Value Taxes are, how they impact housing in Pittsburgh, and how we can use them to reduce blight.

Check out our full policy piece on LVT here: www.prohousingpgh.org/blog/policy-...

If Pittsburgh reinstitutes a land value tax, one of the biggest drivers of urban decay would go away. Landowners would no longer be subsidized for keeping lots vacant or letting buildings decay into blight. Better yet, most yinzers would also see immediate property tax relief.

The value of land does not change as easily as the value of buildings. Taxing it flips the script and makes it more profitable for landowners and investors to do the right thing.

When only the value of buildings is assessed, depreciation and neglect are functionally the same thing. Taken together, the current system allows bad landords to make money just from running a property into the ground. Investors profit while everyday renters are harmed.

Our current tax structure allows investors to deduct the depreciation of properties they own from their annual taxes, even if the property in question is making them money from rent. Needless to say, this loophole is frequently exploited.

With the O’Connor administration undertaking a demolition blitz in the Hilltop, Pittsburgh’s blighted properties are making headlines. But how did things get this bad in the first place? A tax loophole is partially to blame. 🧵

Tax bills vary widely for Pittsburgh homes that have same price Experts blame outdated property assessments.
