the house would still be worth $500k

you specified it was a "1x10m house", which means the house cost $10m, not $30m. the 20 houses that are collectively worth the same as the…

they will both still be worth $10m

there will be $10m worth of housing. the value of housing is the sum of land and structures built upon that land.

their total value will add up to $10m

all else being equal, the double-sized houses will be worth $666k and the half-sized houses will be worth $333k

no matter whether you build in the middle of nowhere or in the CBD, if you build 20 houses at a total cost of $10m, those 20 houses will be…

no. $10m worth of land in the middle of nowhere is worth the same as $10m worth of land in the CBD

no. $10m worth of land costs the same as $10m worth of building labour & materials. $10m worth of housing for one house costs the same as…

do you think inheritance should be abolished?

why can't you just be a good human being without nationalism?

my answer is yes. i also want all housing to be public.

you are an evil human being

"tall poppy" implies jealousy. i'm not jealous of the rich; i want to abolish the unethical means by which most people get rich.

i'm actually a deeply rational person and my conclusions re: wealth have been reached after years of concentrated study of rational,…

because the vast majority of wealth owned by the most wealthy is taken from workers and the poor via bourgeois mechanisms (none of which…

Why have you assumed that rich people have worked hard for their money?

"Wendy" is the first word of the title of the article you're commenting on

All housing should be public (meaning decommodified entirely). No single human being should have two houses while a single human being has…
