Absolutely. Im in favor of policies that put forward creative ways to stimulate private investment in under-invested communities. I much prefer this approach to additional government grants / subsidies, which are beaurocratic and wasteful.

Yes - creates incentives to direct capital to areas that need investment. Skeptical of gov ability to make sure funds are used in an ethical way. But I support the framework for owners of capital to be able to direct funding to areas that have been identified and approved by gov.

No. Capital should go where it is most desired/needed via market incentives. No need to distort the market via tax incentives. If a community is underinvested, let that be a sign that people should start changing what they are doing to make investment more attractive or they should move to a community that is attracting more investment if they do desire.

D1 saying "it's not that hard to move to your local city" truly shows how out of touch they are.

I'm glad you've been so fortunate and sheltered to have those opportunities to just move whenever at your discretion.

I have a CD that gets extremely flustered when you ask them for their opinion on a solution.

Working on tight turn arounds and a cd who is too busy for meetings it proving tough with remote working. Any tips?

Interesting. Let’s see if the uptick In cases continues to drive an uptick in hospitalizations and then in fatalities. Depends on how many of the cases are incidental or in very young people not prone to severe cases. But either way, look at the hospital capacity utilization figures! This is the untold story. Were we bending the curve to avoid unnecessary deaths due to overcrowded hospitals, or were we bending the curve to buy time for treatments and vaccine, or just to slow fatalities?
