A Remedy for the Fake Housing Crisis

It's fascinating to watch the experts go round and round over the decades on this one. When a remedy is sitting there ready and willing already.


What Faux Labour is proposing here is identical to historic proposals that have never helped and have large externalities punishing the poor yet further than the party of the working class already proceed to do.

But the 'best' politicians and the ones who quickly rise to the top are the ones who can play the keys of a selfish and ignorant people the most beautifully. Just because a party calls itself Labour, does not require it to care about that constituency for it to make good way.

And this problem has been resolved long ago anyway. The solution only needs to be adopted. Alas, I fear the people only want a hard remedy and the politicians across the political spectrum, including the greens and the woke are right behind the people already.

For example, there are a total of 3 options, with the power to fully resolve this so called crisis almost immediately. The first being the present shambles. The 2 others already are very well understood within our academies of learning, as follows.

Option 2 - mandatory Land Value Taxation

Simultaneously, tax the annual rental value of the location of all real estate, slowly tapering up to 100% over time. And abolish all other taxation, slowly tapering it down to 0% over time likewise. Avoiding taxation on the building and any improvements which of course is capital, not land value.

To benefit from a home does not require ownership, just exclusive possession. With the benefit received from the home in that location paid back as a rent, in full. You pay, for benefits received. That's fair isnt it?  Location value is far easier to assess more accurately than all other taxes. And given that tax comes out of rent in the end, clearly there is plenty available to fund the state. What is more this is the only tax which cannot be avoided or evaded. No wonder it is the least popular yet most efficacious.

Option 3 - voluntary Locations Value Covenants

If Option 2 is too radical, then use Location Value Covenants to allow the same thing to happen voluntarily rather than by statute. If the owner wants to volunteer the unearned rental value in their asset, in exchange for lower taxes or mortgage interest rates, then this is the option. It's voluntary so there's no state control and stupidity standing in the way of successful household budgeting.

PETITION: Government to indicate countries of the UK are open to accede to the US

Sign the Petition A Dialogue on the UK's Accession to the United States Executive Summary This initiative seeks to foster a formal dialogue regarding the potential accession of the countries of the United Kingdom , to the United States , as individual states.  Simply put, this petition is asking the government to start a conversation about the benefits of leaving the UK and joining the United States. The objective is to evaluate the benefits to citizens and stakeholders, encouraging a constructive discourse on the political, economic, and social implications of such a union. If Wales , Northern Ireland , Scotland , or  England were to leave the United Kingdom, it would end their system of constitutional monarchy and parliamentary democracy . Instead, if they joined the United States as separate states, they would govern themselves under the U.S. federal system while receiving its protection. This proposal recognises that immediate change is unlikely but urges a serious con...

Who Said There Was Anything Wrong With a Worldview?

Who Said There Was Anything Wrong With a Worldview? I didn't. But it's when I believe my worldview, is truth, that I become violent without realising it. This is extremely hard for people to accept as possible. The resistance to seeing it and the temptation to escape from looking, is built into its foundations. So, I never said worldviews are bad for us. I did say that when I believe my worldview is a fact, then "I" become root cause of the worlds problems. Thought creates an image of the world. Then thought worships the image that thought created. I am scared of death. So I create an existential worldview about immortality - an image. This can be a God, a political ideology, scientific religiosity, atheism, planet saving activism, anything which my fear of death can hide behind. So if I do 'good' through this image I created, I will ultimately get a 'seat on the right hand side of God' , or whatever the image I created has defined as heaven. Then I w...

Facing Draco, Mining Dorado

This is a proposal to show how the 18.6 year real estate cycle is a hang over from times where the mechanics of the lunar month were used by high priests of the time to forecast ancient agricultural cycles - what we would today call a business cycle culminating in a financial crisis or a great recession. The 18.6 year period is governed by the intersection of lunar and solar eclipses. It is known scientifically as the Saros Cycle. Where all 3 harmonics of the orbit of the moon coincide once every 18.6 years. The ancient scholars knew this. And the politicians of the time used it to signal the day when the economy would be deliberately reset by fiat. This reset was necessary because this period was about how long the people of nations could abuse the economy before it was too late to recover on its own and much worse effects would have emerged. So it was the wisdom of the leadership of the time. As the aeons went by, the meaning and rationale of this policy became normalised - people an...
