Vienna? World famous for publicly-funded housing construction?
replyTry this one: "Create a simple analysis approximating how much higher rents would be in Vienna if not for the aggressive public subsidization of supply"
In any case, Vienna has a good system! But it's not that it avoids high productivity → high rent, it's that it splits rent into subsidy costs and rent.
In other words, the amount of subsidy + rent required will grow with local productivity.
My point is: Your post reeked by defeatist 'nothing can be done against market forces'.
replyYes, it can be done, and if we want to have a reasonable future, it should be done.
So you were responding to an assumption that's not actually in my comment?
replyVienna's solution is fine but has escalating costs and isn't necessary. Land Value Tax is better.
