  2. its actually zoning laws hurting renters and property buyers. reason is because it limits supply. rent control? doesn't matter that much. the real problem is builders wont build small homes cheap. reason is simple. china already can make 3d printed cement houses for 5k or less the real cost would then be other costs besides building. cost to build is very small. so in USA it would be probably 10k or so. including moving/towing costs 30k trucking the house costs a whole lot in the USA. utilities, plumbing etc would be the reason for cost- lets add another 10k and main cost would be foundation,tax regulation etc.- another 20k total cost for cement houses 60k tiny houses can also be built by yourself for less than 5k and 10k for those that ask others to help make it. so because zoning laws hurt buyers and renters  container houses wouldn't cost much either 20-30k for moving and fabricating one. again the problem is the foundation + the tax regulations. RV homes as well. but then many complain about them because the residents want to keep prices high for some reason. IMO the residents do not even know common sense. higher prices = higher taxes. higher prices = only benefits sellers, banks and government. lower prices = benefit owner/buyer, because of lower taxes and fees. the utilities are just standard if you don't want them you dont need them. the zoning laws are the true problem though. you cannot build cheap housing on them else you will be fined in most states. they would mostly only allow 100k+ housing for taxation reasons else you will be denied. commercial real estate is also increasingly a problem as so many are vacant but they would not rent them out cheaper. a result they remain empty to keep prices high. the empty buildings make it a shady area and dangerous for everyone involved. criminals and fire hazards ensue in empty buildings increasing the cost. either way government and speculators/banks benefits from high property values for taxation/rents not buyers or dwellers. that's why they tried so hard to keep values up. if people were allowed to build tiny, 3d printed housing, container houses, in any area they so choose then increasing supply tremendously. afterwards repealing the housing rent control wouldn't be such an issue. I already thought of a few blueprints that may work for these ideas but of course no money/connections = cant do much, thus I'll have to pass it on to those with better connections posting the ideas for others to hopefully use for the better because it probably wont make much money if it serves the people. but it just so happens most do not want to make cheap housing the, main reason for higher costs intentionally is to drive poor people out such that the more wealthy can move in and then more taxes and less crime so the thinking goes. because there is a prejudice/notion that higher income = less crime. somewhat true many times but sometimes false as well. anyway good day

  10. I'd favor abolishing income tax and instead replacing it with sales and property tax. with basic living expenses rebated per year based on cost of living. Since IRS is here to stay we can't avoid it. First to get rid of the most unfair tax of them all Income tax: taxation on labor(a good thing why tax?) is dumb Property tax: mostly just the rich have this buying more property you do not need is wasteful. you better be using said property to produce something or need it then otherwise you are consuming needless resources. Tax exemption: based on how many people are living or using said property. less people using = more taxation IF it is a ghost town said property is forfeit and auctioned off to highest bidder. use it or lose it. Sales tax: no tax on groceries/food flat tax: on everything else. depends on needs of government. luxury goods: tax more. taxation to encourage or discourage certain products. eg: cigs, expensive luxury cars instead of taking mass transit - eg in place of pollution tax reason they are already doing so shift it to sales + property first. Income tax didn't even exist before the federal reserve. this is the worst tax of them all. later on shift it to mainly property tax and almost 0 sales tax on general goods if possible. If the RICH want any property in the USA then they will have to pay up. else move and crash the rent and property so poor people can live there now they can afford rent and house purchases. I call it utilitarian taxation. It's still complicated but it's because the infrastruture has already been put in place. It's easier to transition to this first get rid of income tax then other taxes later. Off topic: the reason why poor cannot afford anything is high RENT not just low wages. that is the highest cost in their expense pool and makes other goods and services unaffordable. CRASH the real estate market so people can live. let them default they shouldn't have borrowed money in the first place. HIGH property tax WILL discourage a few people from buying up all the property instead it will be more spread out. if corporation buys houses then, their tax rate is Still determined by if it is empty. If it is they will be hit. Not corporate tax but they will be hit as normal property tax 1 person. They better get moving renting them out then. After rent is medical - only way to solve it is to have more doctors, PA and nurses. No way around it. Produce more lower costs of medical school. have population eat healthier meaning real food, NOT processed food.
