The mechanism by which this is enforced: zoning.

Most residential land in North American cities is zoned exclusively for single-family housing. Not a neutral decision. A political choice to protect incumbent wealth at the cost of everyone who came after.

It there was any doubt about the corruption within #MugabeRegime, this marital saga in court should put an end to it. But, this also exposes the abuse of the #landreform in #Zimbabwe. #Campbell was so right and the #SADCTribunal also. Unfortunately, the rest is history!!!

"We need to have better democracy, better politics that actually means we can have better land reform legislation."

Philippine pres. #CorazonAquino faced a daunting task after the Marcos dictatorship. #LandReform was promised but stymied by massive debt, coups, & cronyism. In the #MendiolaMassacre, #ThisDayInHistory in 1987, 13 people were killed when troops fired into a massive demonstration.

Forcing people in Scotland from their homes/land– not just a Highland/Island (Gàidhlig) issue btw. We in Fife suffer second homes and house building/white settler problems here as well. No jobs too and natives are leaving.

​Land is a finite resource. It shouldn't be a piggy bank for the ultra-rich to park wealth.

There's a "housing crisis", yes — but there's also a "crisis of exclusion" Why we should stop calling it a "housing" crisis, and start talking about exclusion.

New post up! This one is about a new term (crisis of exclusion) I am trying to introduce to our collective lexicon. I argue it should replace the term, "housing crisis", which I believe is a conceptual barrier to resolving the issues. #lvt #landreform #ubi #highrent #housingcrisis #sharetherent

Why call this project "Share the Rent"? A brief look into the impetus for the title of this blog.

I am titling this new blog "Share the Rent" for a few reasons, but first among them is that's exactly what the LVT + UBI system does: It takes some portion of the rents and mortgages we all pay to live and/or work, and spreads it back out again. #lvt #ubi #seattle #washington #landreform
