I am asking one thing of you all: do not voluntarily detransition.
That is what they want most.

This is bothering me now so i do have to quote post it. But like if the govt wanted to beat the NIMBYs they could literally rule tomorrow that all zoning is abolished and expropriate basically whoever to build housing.
Britain needs a no-joke revolution. Not a leftist revolution, not a reactionary revolution. A good, old-fashioned liberal revolution.
Against the insane cartelization of housing by NIMBYs, against the ongoing abuse of immigrants and trans ppl & vs anyone who someone thinks is an immigrant or trans.

Imagine coming up with a proposal so stupid, so unworkable, so thoughtless, that it makes Robert Jenrick look sane by comparison.

The problem is if you want to do transit advocacy in the USA you do really need to know what a shoefly is, and weird shit about fire safety, and a million other things.
I'm guessing 10% of the people in this room were looking for this level of detail. A phrase comes to mind (build the damn trains, I don't need to know what a shoofly is.)

I have once again entered the United States at YVR preclearance without issue.
The only question for me was about declarations, though my spouse had a brief procedural discussion to make sure they were admitted on the correct status.

Presumably I’m not the first person to ever think of a split assessment rate between land and improvements. What are the best arguments not to do something like this?
I agree with all of this. Henry George was right.
Looking at my own situation… Port Moody levies 3.939% per $1000 of assessed value on residential land. A split rate of 4.939% on land and 2.939 on buildings would increase the tax on a $1 million home by $567… almost exactly the $570 homeowner grant
