It really depends on where the land is as it's based on value. If you are talking about replacing property taxes with land value taxes typically it's just a rate on the value but in this case it's just the land value so a higher rate but only applies to land. If you could figure out the total land value in your neighbourhood you could figure it out.

As for who is affected, single family homes on the outskirts probably see a drop in taxes while those in the inner city and vacant plots see a large increase.

I think you are implying there's deductions against land value tax but there typically isn't.

Degrowth is too pesimistic for me. The EU has shown you can reduce carbon emissions while increasing GDP we just need the right incentives.

Historically too without the Haber process we would be able to support the current population on the Earth today but we can as a result of it.

It sounds like they are approving all the permits anyway so whether it's illegal or not it doesn't seem to matter.

The one good thing about these policies is they are bypassing a lot of council regulations to increase supply but the "affordable" rentals are probably pretty marginal benefit and it's likely just low income kids who's parents are supporting them.

Don't people switch to using subscribed pretty soon anyway? All is full of junk for me.

Where do they do it otherwise? In Australia it's also yearly.

People might also get bonus so in some sense you get paid once a year.

By easing they mean the inflation rate has dropped it's still way above the target range.

I had that initial suspicion but I think they can still change however they can't change to a course that doesn't meat the condition of the visa. The intention is to allow easy immigration for those studying courses like Engineering but not a Tafe course

At the end of the day it's just money for the universities but at least if we are having that system we might as well bring in people funding the education sector and not just those wanting a cheap work visa.

Great comment on SMH was "Good opportunity for the council to make money. Now the land's cleared sell it to developers with approval to go up 25 stories"

Openrc at least is sysvinit based. Pre systemd the options were really sysvinit and upstart. Upstart was even worse than sysvinit such that afaik no one has bothered to try to revive.
