AS I SIT HERE AT MY DESK READING THE LATEST NHLA BULLETIN AND IN PARTICULAR THE FIRST 2.5 PAGES WHICH DISCUSS THE "CONTINUING RESOLUTION" THAT WAS RECENTLY PASSED TO FUND THE GOVERNMENT AND IN PARTICULAR HUD'S FUNDING FOR ITS VOUCHER PROGRAMS. THERE IS A CONTINUING DISCUSSION ABOUT THE NEED FOR TRULY AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND THAT NOW THE TERNER CENTER FOR HOUSING AT UNC BERKELEY AND THE STANDFORD CENTER ON POVERTY AND INEQUALITY HAVE CO-AUTHORED A REPORT MAKING AN ARGUMENT FOR "TAX CREDITS" FOR RENTERS - MUCH LIKE THE ONE'S HOME OWNERS RECEIVE....
IT STRIKES ME THAT INSTEAD OF GETTING THE GOVERNMENT TO PASS THESE "CREDITS" WHICH ARE BASICALLY JUST SPREADING OTHER'S TAX PAYMENTS AROUND TO THOSE IN MORE NEED (WHICH THEY REALLY DON'T HAVE THE MONEY FOR IN THE FIRST PLACE) THAT THEY COULD INSTEAD PROMOTE MORE LANDLORDS/OWNERS TO PROVIDE AN INCENTIVE TO THEIR RESIDENTS TO PAY THEM IN BITCOIN AND GIVE THE RENTER A 50/50% SPLIT OF THE PRICE APPRECIATION IN THE BITCOIN FOR A SPECIFIC OR VARIABLE PERIOD OF TIME AND MAKE HOUSING MORE AFFORDABLE THAT WAY....
I MEAN I AM ALREADY DOING THIS WITH ONE OF MY RENTER'S AND ITS WORKING PREFECTLY...THEIR HOUSING IS MORE AFFORDABLE AND WE BOTH BENEFIT FROM BITCOIN BEING BITCOIN...NOW IF THEY AND I DIDN'T HAVE TO PAY TAXES ON THIS USE IT WOULD BE EVEN MORE BENEFICIAL AND WOULD LIKELY BE UTILIZED MUCH MORE QUICKLY....BUT HEY...I DON'T RUN THE GOVERNMENT....BUT THESE "THINK" TANKS NEED TO DO A BETTER JOB THINKING :)
