With what funding? Taxes have been dropping around the country and governments are perpetually underfunded.

We should be lobbying for higher property tax rates so that municipalities actually have the flexibility to "act first, fund later".

Higher property taxes for multi-home or corporate owners, higher corporate taxes, break up the oligopolies, etc.

I feel like a broken telephone. But if we say it enough maybe it will actually happen.

Higher taxes in general and specifically for non owner-occupied rental properties. It'll drive down real estate demand and incentize actually filling rentals with tenants.

The phrase is "broken record" lol

Never heard of a telephone that repeats itself when it's broken.
