Ignore it is not an option: 1% transportation fund tax. Hst + 1% = . 5b/year: lrts not quite as fast or large as subways, but cheaper and better for the cost. Carry 3-5 busloads: some lrt is being built. Wwii: the city as a generator of wealth?, a new house is not just a new house, it is a new taxbase. And it equals jobs and supplies that are needed to build and maintain the house. Social mix is an issue: processes of residential area change, filtering, requires no government intervention, market lead renewal, housing that is vacated by more affluent groups becomes available for lower income occupants.
