I genuinely like the idea of higher density, as much as I like driving, having a city that’s walkable and with good transit (which density incentives) would be a dream.

My current city is a sprawling suburb and it’s almost an hour by bus to do a trip that takes 10 minutes by car.

Also thank you for expanding on this!

I don’t entirely follow? I’m totally open to alternatives to making sure the money stays where it is, I just don’t immediately understand the mechanism.

Oop I read through the top comments and probably missed it! ^^

UBI needs to be combined with rent and price controls if it is not, inflation will eat the benefits inside of a 5-year period and money will be siphoned up the chain.

Otherwise I am all for it.
