How London’s property boom left Black Britons behind >Buying
a place to live is the single most important way of achieving
prosperity in the United Kingdom and is so central to life that
scrutinizing the property market is a national pastime. Yet,
Black people risk falling further behind for generations as urban
gentrification exposes gaping racial wealth disparities. An extreme
example of gentrification is the district of Notting Hill,
synonymous with slums and race riots in the postwar period before
turning into one of the most highly coveted neighborhoods of the British
capital. Read more |
A
Texas economic development program known as Chapter 313 allows industry

The
quickly growing southwestern Idaho city of Caldwell is stopping all new
residential development for four months because city leaders say a new
property tax law could put its residents in “imminent peril” by
straining public safety service. Officials say other cities are
considering similar moves. Lawmakers pushed the bill through in three
days just before the session ended. Read more

China’s
latest move to introduce a property tax represents a fresh crackdown on
property speculation and a curb on runaway home prices, but analysts
believe it is also an “inevitable” solution to help solve the nation’s
debt crisis and ensure financial stability. A new plan, like many
Western countries, would eventually cover ordinary Chinese households.
At the moment, taxes and fees are mainly collected only at land
auctions, or in the property development or trading process, with few
additional costs for residential homeowners. Read more
+ Can New York’s next mayor fix the city’s broken property tax system? >
Two
candidates hoping to be New York City’s next mayor stepped in it this
week by flubbing a question about the price of housing in Brooklyn. One
of those candidates, Shaun Donovan, who guesstimated that the median sales price in Brooklyn is $100,000 ,
is the former secretary of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development. He and former Citigroup exec Ray McGuire ought to know
better. The era of modest home sales for New York’s largest borough are
as distant as the days of the Brooklyn Dodgers. Read more
The
Victorian state government in Australia has taken a swipe at exclusive
men’s only clubs, announcing plans to strip them of land tax concessions
traditionally afforded to charities and social associations. These
exclusive organizations, made up of invite-only members from the upper
echelons of Melbourne society, are generally in prime CBD locations, but
up until now have not had to pay regular land taxes as they enjoyed the
same exemption as other non-for-profit social clubs. Read more
A
newly-formed Nashville coalition is aiming to defeat the city’s
anti-property tax referendum, setting the stage for dueling campaigns
ahead of the July election. Save Nashville Now, a group of labor unions,
businesses, faith groups, and community activists, announced
Tuesday its campaign against the proposal to roll back the city’s recent
property tax hike and limit Metro government’s power over future
increases, recall elections and other issues. Read more
Brick-clad homes tucked in a series of small cul-de-sacs outside
Dublin went on sale boasting tidy gardens, stylish bathrooms and even a
charging point for electric cars — all for a fair price. But good luck
buying one. Round Hill Capital LLC is buying nearly 80% of the 170
houses in the development in Maynooth, a picturesque university town
about a 45-minute train ride from downtown Dublin. Instead of owning a
three- or four-bedroom townhouse with a door knocker and a fireplace,
most of the future residents will be tenants paying rent to the New
York-based private equity firm. Read more
