I discover that I don’t seem to have cross-posted this old essay previously published in the Mandarin, and since this is my place of record (where I can make notes to myself in the comments of new sources, thoughts or developments) I am doing it now. |

Planning deregulation, especially rezoning, has been repeatedly touted as a key policy solution to Australia’s eye watering house prices. The story goes that prices remain high because the supply of new dwellings in accessible, desirable locations has not kept pace with demand due to zoning restrictions. Rezoning for higher uses will increase supply and make […] |

by Jehan Azad & Uri Bram Wired Magazine (published May 4, 2023). Reprinted with permission. “There’s no such thing as a good landlord” is a rallying cry of angry renters. In the future, it might be conventional morality that it’s simply wrong to own land. In our times, owning land seems as natural as owning […] |

A summary of recent research Speculation: it’s a Georgist obsession shared by few others. Landbanking, flipping, vacancy, delayed development, staged releases – how does any of this matter? Speculative behaviour tells of the market at work, allocating capital and land as it sees fit. What is the public interest in these private decisions? Why do […] |

Last year on budget night, Queensland caught the coal industry off-guard, announcing three new upper-level tiers to the state’s royalties regime. Queensland’s previous royalty schedule had only two brackets: seven per cent up to $100 a tonne, then 15 per cent for coal sold above $150 a tonne. The changes brought in progressively high rates […] |

You could probably guess this from my name alone. |
