Great piece from @Nominal News. I will have to read the cited works. It has long been my position that tackling housing prices requires more than just upzoning.

Taxing lang values instead of property value, for instance, would drive down the price of land, free up land that is used unproductively, and remove the implicit punishment of...you know…actually developing land: https://www.lianeon.org/p/just-tax-the-land

Are there more policy measures we can take to reduce the cost of housing?
