There's a list of obvious tax code changes that would immensely improve the current housing, transportation and climate situation:
- Land Value Tax
- Carbon Tax
- Space and weight tax on personal vehicles
Of course any of those mean challenging entrenched interests so are deeply unpopular. Hell, even environmentalists hate the carbon tax even though it's THE most effective climate policy.
As well as removing the obviously terrible carveouts (light duty truck carveouts to start).
An electric F-150 is about the worst personal vehicle imaginable for road wear. We need to encourage people to only use a vehicle of a size they actually need.
