DESCRIPTION:Under your feet is the answer to most of San Francisco's housing turmoil. 
 Land. More precisely, the value of land. Land value is political power, and 
 whoever collects land value, rules.\n\nCome along on a free walking tour 
 tracing a significant swath of San Francisco social movement history 
 leading to the insight that socializing land values to a much greater 
 degree than the current property tax does will establish the people as the 
 rulers (whether they rule wisely is another matter).\n\nCurrently, however, 
 housing rights and social justice advocates more generally, are chasing 
 cars. They seek a $15/hour minimum wage or Prop I or Prop F or the right to 
 squat empty buildings or legacy business protections. This car chasing 
 fails to simply stand still, claim land value as community property, and 
 thereby win everything advocates of this and that desire.\n\nThink about 
 it. If the great challenge in San Francisco is the high price of real 
 estate and yet that rising price is ignored as a property right of the 
 community, then all the piecemeal attempts at fixes of the effects of the 
 failure to tax land values heavily will stumble at best, fail likely, 
 obfuscate at worst.\n\nIf you're tired of chasing cars, spend two and half 
 hours this Sunday morning getting the religion of community relationship to 
 land values. Or don't. Sleep in. And we'll watch you lope behind more cars 
 next election cycle with your long, red tongue wagging in the wind.\n
