"As the old saying goes, you can't make land"

no but you can make
more house lots
change floor plan to lot ratios
and building heights
and floor counts too

the infrastructure can be ramped up
with ground rent taxes fed back
into these infra improves.....

no sir
the value of your lot could fall
and stay fallen
in real terms for quite a spell

rental rates tend to obey local income ratios
pretty well
i'd expect the lot values to hang in nominal suspension
till other prices and of course incomes catch up

right now the policy intent
seems to be

" hold up lot values"

prevent a price cratering

and
to prop the house lots
various market manipulations
are feasible ...underway ...planned
some uncle gub
open to the public stuff
and
some closed door
evil bankic riggery

eegardless of policy
the greatest micro by the millions
market prop force
remains
mark's
irrational home sweet home effect

clingonism
as in
we all kin
ride it out pard
till better times come round agin

quite
a stink hole sink hole
.......

"Are people really supposed
to serve their economy
as they might serve some deity"

no
the gods of private profit max
make exceptions

its not all of the people
and not all of the time

just most of um
and way too often
...
owning a house lot
of your own
is
the jobbled american dreamers fools' gold

free to mow my own lawn ....to neighborhood standards

free to redecorate

my my

community AND independence

the life of Riley

unity of opposites

the yeoman reduced
to his quarter acre
of grass garage terrace tarmac
and 2k of walled in
wall to wall carpet

praise the lord
and pass the dunkins

a nation of job chasing nomads

lets not over play the hand here

why so bad
a certain rootless %
of jobblers ???

in the long run
familly and community
are not a match
for market atomization
and the kool soul of anomie
