DESCRIPTION:There certainly are truths to both current Supervisor Dean Preston's and to 
 his determined electoral opposition's critiques of both the housing 
 challenges facing San Francisco and of the scandalous street markets for 
 the drug-punked folk living pleine-aire, but neither Preston nor GrowSF 
 have reached full down to the underneath-it-all socio-economic fact that 
 girds the city's chronic ills.\n\nThat fact is that the failure to 
 recognize and treat locational/land values as community property leads to 
 land speculation, alienation of a huge proportion of the population from 
 place, and a dissociation of rents from the location they're from. Put very 
 plainly: it is the community-generated value of land that makes SF real 
 estate so expensive, and which if privatized creates an intransigent 
 wealth-divide, but if socialized provisions abundant social revenue while 
 vaporizing most unearned wealth.\n\nCome along on a tour, Steven Buss & 
 Grow SF and Dean Preston (and all your various followers), that explores 
 the intersection of land rents and a myriad of social debacles. The tour's 
 hypothesis is that control of land and land values is at the core of nearly 
 all social domination and marginalization. The walk brings forward a 
 pragmatic if broadly unpopular public policy proposal, namely Socialize 
 land values and simultaneously reduce taxes on productive activity.\n\nThe 
 walk is free. You need not be in either the pro or con Preston camps, but 
 certainly such are welcome to attend, reflect, and pipe up.\n
