We should build much more housing, and anything that gets in the way of that is something we should consider changing. For examples, suburbs fret about increases in property taxes to educate additional children moving to town; the state should increase education subsidies, in a large and predictable way, to remove this anti-housing incentive. We should shift tax burden from property taxes to income taxes /

(this would raise my net taxes and THAT WOULD BE FINE I want to live in a functioning society that isn't anti-people, which is de facto what we have now). "

doing my part in the comments....

@dr2chase @bikepedantic I am all for this too, as well as building a lot more affordable rental housing. More medium-density apartment buildings (with street level commercial space!) especially within reasonable walking distance of a T stop, commuter rail stop, or multi-bus stop, would be a very excellent thing to do.

If we did condos better (I'm thinking of what we saw in France, where people just bought an apartment in a building and paid a small yearly fee for maintenance) that'd be another sensible way to manage extra housing stock, because we wouldn't need to build so many single-family houses.
