See a lot of complaining but not a lot of vision
I live in the Uk and i would:
-tax land value to hit landlords
-reduce planning regulation for new homes
-build social housing in bulk
-More regional power outside of london
-bring the scots and welsh back on side
I wouldnt do full socialism as its bullshit, i'd instead try to copy sweden
tax land will force some people who are richer in land than revenues to sell their property it can be unfair. Unless you mean only owners that make money off of their land?
Interesting thread, wish it got more traction, currently in Canada a big problem is the housing market in Toronto, and Vancouver, part of the problem being Chinese investors, I guess by banning foreign investors would help
american here
and a whole lot more, but this is off the top of my head
most of my issues with in sydney are
Think thats its don't really have issue with tax laws right now or immigration
and also public housing is important also but my plan with bullet train will i think will fix the problem of the housing market

that increases supply of land and lowers cost overall
Land isnt the same as property btw

disagree with some parts but agree with most
Some policies I would like to see, although a lot of these ultimately are decided at the local level:
Investment in especially urban transit, I would like to see better intercity transit but it's not as urgent
Reduce cost of living and improve quality of life by allowing for more housing to be built in walkable neighborhoods and by focusing development and housing on the urban core (in a broad sense, not just downtown) rather than suburbs
Also I would like to see rural areas revitalized
In terms of education, put more funding and focus on improving elementary school education for all
More useful physical education, life skills, and personal finance classes in school
Also I would increase the size of the House of Representatives and try to lower/limit the power of the President
disagree with some parts but agree with most
What you iffy about and we can discuss
We live in very different environments

Private schools are a necessary evil imo, if they dont exist, the rich will send their kids overseas where they will get even further out of touch
Thing that's the biggest part really, agree on faith schools. Dont @ me I went to a state school I'm just weary of unintended consequences

i don't fully agree with that see Finland having everyone together doesn't economic situation
my idea is in over generation of high public quality education that all major areas in each city will be well educated resulting in higher wealth across the board meaning their won't be such big inequality
this will also improve art with people having more wealth meaning their more likely to spend their time not worried about putting food on the table or paying bills more they will be able explore their creative ambitions

They f***ed up the house market here too. Xi been handing out interest free loans to buy property overseas or some s*** like that. The chinese communist party plans for 100 year ahead smh
it'd take forever to write and be pretty variable depending on context, so i'll just write out what the goals would be:
1) decouple political institutions from culture in order to ensure policy is not created or affected by ephemeral cultural bias
2) create greatly significant, broad, and holistic irrevocable safety nets, but at the same time create harsher punishments in spite of this
3) de-industrialization and a strong focus on revitalization of smaller communities, simultaneously lessening burdens on cities so they themselves can loosen budget and de-centralize populations
4) better refined leveled systems which returns more power to local and state governments in better local/federal distributions ; federal level policy should be abstract at best and should be therefore in the implementable capability of local people. this would also prevent issues which currently exist in things such as policing.anything which involves funding should be restructured in leveled approvals and percentages. - the federal government should ensure safety nets and more abstract rights while local governments enforce anything which could be understood as effecting daily lives or cultural discussions.
5) encourage greater opportunities and incentives for blue collar as well as skilled labor backed by safety nets; de-incentivize PMC and "bullshit" jobs for jobs which legitimately help the country, such as infrastructure.
6) strong regulations and break-ups targeted to disenfranchise banks and big businesses headed by regulatory measures against banks/businesses which tread on individual rights
7) increased incentives and support for local, small businesses and harsher, stricter regulations on conglomerates
8) better environmental protections, including re-instating laws allowing courts to hear cases of lawsuits toward each other for pollution provided such suits aren't frivolous
9) reinstatement of fairness doctrines for certain sized media w/ heavier punishments alongside other laws aimed at restricting the influence of money and organizations directly or indirectly on politics
im probably missing a few
Fund fully into technology and AI so we can replace all blue collar and low wage labor with robots. Also replace the government with robots that can make unbiased decisions for the betterment of the Majority that don’t factor lobbying or paid interests into it at all.
Deport all workers that aren’t able to pull their weight financially and only accept immigration by application if they can do a certain job well that is required
End welfare and other social programs so we can instead focus on roads/infrastructure/quality of life/ technological advancements and the military.
