At What Cost?
Targeted Taxes Pose Challenges to Equity, Economic Growth
Janeiro 2020, inglês
Cities that feel hamstrung by property tax caps are increasingly using alternative approaches to taxing real estate, with the goal of eking out more revenue and, in some cases, changing behavior. But rather than helping city coffers, experts warn, such moves may be more likely to disrupt economic growth, raise equity concerns, and insert […]

Influential Minneapolis Policy Shift Links Affordability, Equity
Janeiro 2020, inglês
With the arrival of 2020, Minneapolis becomes the first major U.S. city to implement a ban on single-family zoning in every neighborhood. For decades, single-family zoning had locked up nearly three-quarters of the city’s urban land in low-density housing and had contributed directly to lasting racial inequities. The historic and controversial policy shift—which comes […]

Janeiro 2020, inglês
When Washington, DC, officials unveiled a major report on housing equity last fall, they did so at an unassuming, one-story bike shop located in the city’s posh Tenleytown neighborhood.

Great Lakes Communities Use Scenario Planning to Prepare for Rising Waters
Janeiro 2020, inglês
The national dialogue about rising waters tends to focus on coastal states like Florida and New York, with inland states largely absent from the conversation. But residents in Michigan, which has one of the longest coastlines in the continental U.S., are also contending with changes that are leading local officials to reexamine their coastal […]

President’s Message
When Theory and Practice Part
Janeiro 2020, inglês
I’m still recovering from studying graduate-level economics, where the going wisdom was that certain challenges are insoluble. An early lesson, for example, was that no voting system can reliably reach the “right decision” that satisfies a set of basic principles. Nobel laureate Kenneth Arrow showed that no voting method is fair, and that the […]
