What office does Brad Lander want, and how do we help him get it?

For a sense of how much land premium revenue contributes:

So, the government makes a pittance in revenue while property developers make huge margins.

And the annual revenue for property taxes looks like HK$12,800,000 after built.
The last residential tender was $602,000,000 in Tung Chung.

SHKP can construct 401,149 square feet of space. At an assumed HK$15,000 per square foot, $6,017,235,000 … a 10× in revenue in eventual sale.
It does, but that’s not a problem once you put 40 floors on top of it, each floor subdivided 8 ways.
The other thing, high land prices benefit capital more than government.

For a property that sells at HK$14,000,000 rateable value is ~HK$400,000, an annual revenue of HK$32,000 in rates and government rent.

0.2286% property revenue rate.
We should build public housing enough such that there’s slack in the system and no wait.

We have universal public health. Fines that pay for the collective costs of flouting rules made for peoples’ safety subsidize the cost of providing health services when the rare event happens.

Regressive? Sure. But if you’re too poor to pay the fine, buckle up.

Probably a bad sign the original OSINT nerds are posting satellite imagery of the White House for BDA
New satellite images show the scale of demolition that has occurred on the East Wing of the White House in less than a month.
This looks like significant early mortality for men. Smoking?

Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?
It’s truly awful that we have scammers attempting to profit off of genocide, but that’s the world we live in and we need to direct our resources to trustable entities.

Odds are pretty high that some of your well-intentioned reskeets about the plight of Gazans are scams.

These are totally legitimate real accounts in Gaza that just happen to craft posts that abuse a Bluesky bug to invisibly mention 651 accounts.
Does “standing on the edge of a roof with no guardrails” meet OSHA standards?

They’re one overreaction to a return to sender tear gas canister from having somebody domino off the edge of that roof.
Federal officers pepper ball protestors at Portland ICE facility just now.
2011 Ryan mind boggled by 2025 Ryan.
A way to frame this: you may not work for the government past the federal full retirement age.

We’ll get you a cake, take your badge, and walk you out the door.
