What are the pros and cons of the new approach.

Housing - should cities be allowed to build it as a commodity - e.g., electricity. Taxes now main component of housing cost.
Some cities are not big enough, and most do not have housing for homeless people or even working people. If cities could decide what would make their size optimal, and then provide housing - in the way that cities sometimes now provide electricity or water if there is not a vendor of these services - cities could build to an optimal size, and provide the kind of housing that meets the population needs. Currently, property tax is a huge component of housing cost, and that might go to the state. Also, the cost of property transfer within market rates due…

Are Neighborhood Associations an advance in local representation?
There are an ever growing proliferation of Neighborhood Associations throughout the country but the ones in Multnomah County Oregon have been in operation for over 40 years. They claim this is the new advance in political representation at the local level but the overall effect has been more control by fewer people who are even more parochial than the bureaucrats in Town Hall.

The more videos you watch the more they say specialization is key. So to specialize you need education. Would it not greatly benefit us all if we could have more people with special knowledge?

Homelessness
It wasn't enough that shopping centers were empty. Now hotels and even apartments are empty. Those who are homeless often sleep by freeways, and there seems to be some social service work, but still, for example in Los Angeles, there are thousands of homeless people. What are the barriers?

Because the homeless sometimes do have transfer payments that would make it possible to pay rent, and some could work if they had hope and knew what kind of work…

Short video on inequality
I'm an instructor at a college. I'm teaching a module on GDP, basic accounting, and then moving to the issues on GDP and standard of living, your videos were very helpful for that. But I wanted to include the discussion of GDP and inequality (mainly inside a country) and I couldn't find anything brief... do you have something like that? If not, could you do it?
Many thanks!
