If your city is a Brand, it’s already too late

Long post time. What is it that drives gentrification? Also, what is gentrification? Is it when a city gets blue hair and pronouns? No, it probably already had those.

Gentrification is the result of concentration of wealth in the hands of business owners, including landlords, over and above the hands of residents.

Let’s start with rent. Rent, like any good, is priced according to the laws of supply and demand. Supply of available rental housing is primarily determined by construction costs and estimated return on investment for new construction, and property management costs and estimated return on investment for existing units.

Breaking that down a bit, the higher construction costs get the higher the rent needs to be to break even on new construction. Construction costs include labor (which can always go down but you want it high for moral and practical reasons), materials (highly variable depending on the project) and bureaucratic costs. A bureaucratic cost is a cost that is based on how projects fit into the legal and practical environment, and are usually non-negotiable. Dig Safe, a program which requires three days of surveying local records before breaking ground, is an example where the function is to prevent crews from flattening a neighborhood by puncturing a gas main. Environmental Impact Statements, Fire Codes, Habitability Guidelines, and other regulations increase costs to projects. These programs are good and need to exist, but do stop smaller projects from happening at all because the capital investment required just to actually break ground on a new house might cost as much as the land and materials put together at which point you might as well build another 120$/sqft luxury midrise.

Property management costs for existing units are largely dependent on age and wear. A unit with no occupant is going to depreciate little, and may also appreciate in value. Depreciation and appreciation here are sort of unintuitive because they can happen at the same time. Imagine an old luxury sports car with a high resale price. Driving depreciates the value because it’s literal condition is poorer, even as the resale value goes up over time. The appreciation needs to beat both inflation and the value of depreciation for it to go up in real value. For companies with large capital holdings however, losses such as through the upkeep of empty apartment buildings are useful to a point because they reduce these organizations’s tax burdens. A company that makes a killing on the stock market only has to pay taxes if they keep it: if they buy houses they then don’t rent, they can claim they “lost” their stock market earnings with “bad investments” and then pay no tax while saving the real estate to rent later. Again, this favors the largest possible projects and the largest possible operators because small companies can be killed by an unprofitable quarter or 4 while large ones explicitly benefit from unprofitability in reducing their tax burden.

Expected ROI is the final piece of this, which affects both new and existing units. Every private developer and landlord wants to make as much money as they can, unless they are explicitly are renting as a service. An example of renting as a service would be families, who will rent to each other at favorable rates or for free, privileging people with large and/or wealthy families that are friendly with each other. Now, ROI is also subject to supply and demand. Everyone wants to build 120$/sqft luxury apartments but once everybody does nobody can sell/rent for those prices without setting a price floor and waiting for buyers to catch up. If you are a small developer, you can’t afford to do this. Your expenses will eat you alive. If you are a big developer, though, those expenses are offsetting the gains you make and serving to reduce you tax bill. Units at prices nobody can pay are effectively furloughed, meaning off the market, and, so long as they remain cheap to maintain, will remain that way, artificially restricting supply. It doesn’t matter if it’s for sale or not when it’s at a price you can’t afford. (Sidebar, anyone who tells you that the minimum wage depresses hiring because it artificially restricts demand is lying to you. It’s not strictly false, but like the above it’s a multi-variable equation and blanket statements about cost of labor are aimed at killing wages.)

What this alludes to also is a need for greater income equality. In order for rental to be a competitive option with furlough, not only does the price of furlough have to be increased, the real value of wages have to be increased in order to create opportunities for people to splurge. This is a twofold strategy, of both increasing the rewards of putting units on the market and increasing the costs of keeping them off. If real wages barely cover cost of living, or don’t cover cost of living, nobody can realistically spend more real wages on rent regardless of the percentage of their income it is. (Real wages here refers to the political power implied by dollar wages. A dollar is really worth whatever it can be exchanged for, whether that is a candy bar or a square inch of a 144$/sqft condo) The real value of everything except time and land are also constantly going down because of constant improvements in manufacturing. The cost in acres of land and hours of labor of a pound of beef, a bolt of cloth, or a pint of beer have dropped dramatically in the last century. Unfortunately, land is one of the few things that remains in marxist terms uncommodifiable, because it cannot be fully abstracted from the physical properties that make it valuable and we can’t make more of it just by making a better machine. This means that as the real value of things goes down because of supply and demand, the value of land only goes up because the supply is hard capped. If the value of everything under capitalism must go down because of increased production, while the value of capitalist assets must go up, or the system collapses, it makes sense that land would become a fixed point in that equation, the marxist speed of light observable from all reference points. The best approximation of land as commodity is, what else, apartments, which make available as living space the empty air above us. Because production never stops, the value of everything but land must go down. Therefore, as time passes, the price of land, and hence the price of housing, must tend upwards. Therefore, in order for housing to remain affordable, real wages must grow. This is the opposite of what is currently happening, as real wages have gone down for decades.

This income inequality which is one facet of capitalism is not new. For as long as people have lived in urban areas there have been issues between the abject class, the working class, the ruling class, and the professional class, a four part distinction I will seriously argue for in opposition to a lot of marxist theorists. The ruling and working classes ought to be familiar, or at least self explanatory. However, the other two classes I identify, the professionals and the abject, are useful to this analysis because they fill both a racial gap in the primarily marxist analysis I put forward and identify the two most likely groups to rent, which is to say the worker who works to produce but owns without governing and the professional who works to govern but does not own. The ruling class both governs and owns, but its court is full of courtiers who are there to push various agendas from within the rule of law without per se producing. Likewise, the working class pensioner exists in opposition to the abject who is denied the opportunity or the resources to be productive explicitly as a means to manufacture a threat against which inter-class solidarity between the workers and the rulers is developed. The textbook nazi conspiracy theory about “elites” doing a great racial replacement picks out perfectly what I mean by both the racial character of the professional and the abject and their utilization to foster solidarity between your plumber uncle and Elon Musk. This is relevant to both the broad theme of gentrification and the narrow theme of rent because gentrification is a wedge issue that divides the working class and the professional class far more than its impact on any other. The working class’ disidentification with doctors, lawyers, PMCs and other yuppie types, as well as the professional class’ disidentification with union politics, illegalism, and radicalism in general is brought to firecrackers in virtually any conversation about gentrification which seems in passing to be more about tapas bars than about real politics. Likewise, these groups shared distrust of and disdain for the abject, who are explicitly labeled by the state as constitutionally guilty, is the basis for the very broken windows policing strategy that empties neighborhoods of minorities regardless of class. The Rent is Too Damn High, and excluding homeless people from the “working” working class is a big part of how we got here specifically because the interests of small time owners and small time government functionaries, carried to their conclusions, are necessarily self defeating. These two groups eliminate the presence of the abject from their spaces at their own financial peril.

In addition to class, there is also a specific historical movement that is crucial to the understanding of gentrification as it exists, which is the movement of factories in search of cheap labor. The United States is not a good place to find cheap urban labor. You build a factory and suddenly everyone complains about air quality and labor violations and you can’t just kill them because everyone has lawyers. You kill one (us citizen) organizer and the NLRB is trying to get you in court for intimidation. What’s the country come to? But a shipping container costs a quarter cent per mile and the goods aren’t perishable so you go to Guangzhou or Cape Town where you can kill union bosses in peace. But for the American city, that’s a loss of what once made land prime real estate. What jobs can replace the insatiable demand for labor that a 24 hour paper mill once produced? Service labor, which crucially is site specific and therefore not outsourceable, is what the US has predominantly turned to. (and arms manufacturing which is not outsourced for very different reasons) However, service labor is only in demand if there is already a stable population that can be served, which requires a constant influx of capital holders in demand of service. This is why Airbnb exists and is hollowing out rental availability, why Boston as a college town is the way it is, and why there are in fact so many damn tapas bars. Fred Salveucci talked about being able to go north of the expressway in the 70s and being able to get a plate of mac and beans for half a buck. I went looking for a 5$ slice of pizza on my lunch break today around Government Center and found two places that were boarded up and ended up spending 20$ at Chilacates. Cities are being slowly turned into Cancun, complete with the fences to keep out the homeless.

What can be done about this? Obviously the factors we’ve discussed that favor consolidation of housing are mostly either contained within a gordion’s knot of tax policy or intrinsic to capitalism/goods as commodities. But, given that we narrow our objectives to making the rent lower, some obvious weaknesses jump out: increasing the cost of vacancy forces units out of furlough, because companies are no longer able to justify the losses, and increasing real wages increases the availability of capital for workers to spend on rent. These are the prongs I talked about earlier.

Legal means to pursue each prong exist. Both a minimum wage and a maximum wage, depending on their implementation, can potentially increase real wages, and vacancy taxes directly increase the costs of vacancy. The government can also ignore the market and directly mandate maximum rents within certain parameters. This tends to decrease the long term supply of housing for the reasons discussed at the outset, given that if the revenues from house building don’t cover the costs of building, less gets built. However, any political movement that exists exclusively within the white lines of the law fails to genuinely threaten change. Landlords, like bosses, break the law constantly with the impunity that a lawyer provides them against consequence. This is why a healthy dose of illegalism is an important part of any effective political movement. The most direct action one can take is property occupation, or squatting. Squatter’s rights are nearly non-existent in the United States. The most leeway that any state grants to any unknown persons occupying a dwelling is 60 days notice to vacate the property, and there are states that allow no notice evictions or lack statutes governing squatting at all. Every single state regards the occupation of owned property as trespassing, meaning most kinds of squatting are prosecutable offenses. However, squatting, even temporarily in ways that don’t expose the squatter to liability provided they don’t get caught, can seriously impact the value of properties. You have heard of rent lowering gunshots. This is the serious version of that. At the same time, illegal action needs legal defense, both in terms of non-compliance with police to protect those willing to take illegal actions from arrest and in terms of legal, 1st amendment protected disruption to keep focus on the issue. The most effective movements have a radical wing and a institutionalist wing who do not acknowledge each other but share the same tactics and objectives.

If you are housed, you need to be willing to protect and support homeless people because they are your front line. Start or join an Occupy movement, where they are your peers in occupying a public space illegally in a way that is too public to prosecute. Give to people on the street, and smash anti-homeless architecture if nobody is watching. Be willing to distract cops if you see someone doing something dodgy so they can get away. Remember that following the law is a tactic, and so is breaking it.

The case for this being on my transit blog is arguably weak, but I felt compelled after a particularly hateful experience looking at facebook memes about homeless people on the T. You should want those people there. You should want those people breaking down the doors of luxury apartments and setting up shop. You should want them keeping your city safe because the cops you hire to separate you from them will train their guns on you next.

And for gods sake, don’t let your city become a brand. Branding is marketing. Branding is clean, and bloodless, and a gloved hand around your throat that leaves no fingerprints.

US Tax Season

Hi everyone!! Idk how many people this will reach, but I wanna post some resources for US residents since tax season is here. I’m a graduate taxation student who intends to work in family/small business/non profit tax.

If taxes are really intimidating to you I don’t blame you, they’ve been made super inaccessible and hard to learn about. There are some resources out there that are really worth looking into, which I would highly recommend!

If you want to file your taxes from home and made less than $73,000 from all sources of income this year, check out the IRS Free File page. There are options to fill out all tax forms yourself without auto calculations OR an even better option which is self guided free filing platforms with auto calculations. There are multiple services that can help with the self guided forms, I’d suggest finding the best fit for you. Some may offer free federal tax returns but need payment for state tax returns.

I’d also highly recommend checking out the IRS VITA (Volunteer Income Tax Assistance) program which I will be volunteering with starting next week. It’s a program ran by volunteers who have to get certified and take tests to be able to file basic/slightly advanced tax returns for individuals who made under $60,000 from all sources of income in the previous year. It’s an in person program where you’d bring all your tax forms and sit down with a volunteer who would help you file your tax return. The website linked above has another link to look for volunteer centers in your area. Some locations may need an appointment, but as far as I know most accept walk ins.

For both of these you’ll need all tax forms from the previous year (W2s, 1099s, 1098Ts, etc). If you don’t know if you’ll need it, I’d bring it as opposed to not. I don’t know how many questions I can answer because I’m still fairly new to this, but I am certified to prepare tax returns for US residents. If you have any questions feel free to ask!

Philadelphia City Commissioners' Office Tells O'Keefe Non-Citizens Can Vote as Long as They Are Philadelphia Residents

In a recent conversation with an undercover O’Keefe Media Group journalist, Milton Jamerson, Election And Voter Registration Clerk from the Philadelphia City Commissioners Office, stated that non-citizens can vote in local elections as long as they are residents of Philadelphia.

This claim is echoed by the nongovernmental organization (NGO) “Ceiba,” (@CeibaPhiladelp1) located just across the street, which asserts that individuals with an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) are eligible to vote.

An ITIN is a 9-digit number issued by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to individuals who are required to file a tax return but do not qualify for a Social Security number. While the ITIN serves as a means for tax reporting for those who are not U.S. citizens, possessing an ITIN does not equate to legal voting rights, raising questions about Ceiba's claim that ITIN's deem individuals eligible for participation in the electoral process.

Investing in commercial real estate in India can be an attractive option for non-resident Indians (NRIs) based outside of the country. Factors such as increasing urbanization, the rise in disposable incomes, and the growth of the services sector are driving the growth of the real estate market in India. The commercial real estate sector of India is witnessing a shift towards Grade A and Grade B office spaces. According to a report, India’s real estate market is expected to exhibit a growth rate (CAGR) of 9.2% during 2023-2028. Also Read: Complete guide to legal and regulatory guidelines for NRI investments in properties in India

Investing in commercial real estate in India

Some of the strong reasons for investing in commercial real estate in India as an NRI are –

High Return on Investment (ROI): Commercial properties in India can provide a high return on investment, especially if the property is located in a prime location. A good location attracts good tenants, leading to higher rental income and capital appreciation. Some of the sacredlands current commercial projects propose new leasing models which promise guaranteed returns for several years on your real estate properties.

Diversification of Portfolio: Commercial real estate can be a great addition to an NRI’s investment portfolio, especially for those who are looking for diversification beyond traditional investment options such as stocks and bonds.

Long-term Value: Commercial properties are often long-term investments, which means that they can provide stable income and appreciate in value over time. This makes them a good option for NRIs looking for a stable investment that can provide a steady stream of income for years to come.

Tax Benefits: Investing in commercial real estate in India can provide tax benefits, such as depreciation deductions and deductions for interest paid on loans taken to purchase the property. These tax benefits can help reduce the overall tax liability for NRIs.

Roads require upkeep, and upkeep requires money.

Public roads are upkept using tax dollars, usually. Some public roads are partially funded via tolls, but most highways are tax dollars.

Parking lots are not, technically speaking, public roads. They're private roads. This makes upkeep significantly more complex. For for-profit businesses, upkeep comes out of profit. In effect, the people who use the service pay for the service. That'll come into play later.

As nice as it would be for universities to be mostly funded by the government as a public good, it's not currently like that. This means that most of the income a university gathers comes from students. Again, the people who use the service pay for the service.

The fun thing about universities is that a significant portion of their population simply don't use cars in their day-to-day. Whether that's on-campus residents, people who commute by bus, off-campus residents who live close, etc., it's a large number. These people, of course, do not use the parking lots.

If parking fees and parking passes and such were not separated out into their own system, then the funds to upkeep the parking lots and associated private roads would come out of the university's general fund. (I'm simplifying the accounting here a lot, but go with me.) Since the general fund is filled by student tuition and fees, then in effect, non-parking students subsidize the parking spaces. Instead, we can use a parking pass model to isolate upkeep to only those who use the service.

One system I've seen that's "good enough" has students put their parking pass fees onto their student account, where it can get paid for as part of scholarships and loans. These funds are often restricted, which means that money which doesn't go to "approved causes" either just sits there or has to be returned after a certain period. Again, simplifying. In effect, students have more unrestricted funds because their restricted funds were better used.

Hospitals and airports have a different mechanism at play. Aside from rampant capitalism, parking fees discourage parking. Airports tend to have long-term parking (IE drive to the airport, take a vacation, drive home from the airport) which means they need large lots which can store many cars. Creating fees encourages people to find alternate ways to get to the airport (e.g. taxi, bus, or tram). Hospitals also benefit from having parking lots with space empty--people who urgently need that space have it available, while people who don't urgently need the space are encouraged to go elsewhere.

They're not perfect systems. There are quite a few edge cases where the system breaks down, or moral hazards show themselves (especially relating to disability access and poverty) but they're at least systems which try to address the problems in the naive implementation.

Claim Your VAT Refund: Expert Guidance for Swift Processing

Recovering value-added tax (VAT) is a vital part of your company’s financial strategy. While getting your VAT back can improve cash flow and overall financial health, the recovery process can often be complicated.

Many businesses in the UAE encounter delays and issues that can make it difficult to receive their refunds on time. This guide will help you understand your rights regarding VAT refunds and provide practical tips to speed up your application process.

Know the steps and eligibility criteria to make your VAT refund smoother

To make the VAT refund process smoother, it’s crucial to know your eligibility and the necessary steps involved. Here’s what you need to keep in mind:

Is your business eligible for VAT refunds?

Not every business qualifies for VAT refunds. Generally, you can claim a refund if:

You have paid VAT on purchases related to taxable supplies.

Your VAT input (what you paid) is greater than your VAT output (what you collected) during a specific tax period.

You are a non-resident business that has paid VAT in a country where you don’t have a business presence.

Documentations you need for a successful refund process

Tax Invoices: These should include your details, the seller’s details, and the VAT amount paid.

Credit Notes: If you have returned any goods or services, ensure you have the relevant credit notes.

Supporting Documents: This can include contracts, customs declarations and exit certificates, payment confirmations, and any other documents that support your claim.

Save time and resources by complying with FTA regulations

Timely and accurate submission of your VAT refund files is critical. You need to follow the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) regulations to avoid:

Delays in processing your refund.

Possible penalties for non-compliance.

Common challenges leading to delays

Even with careful preparation, several factors can slow down your VAT refund. Here are some of the most common challenges:

1. Incorrect tax positions

Claiming ineligible input tax credits or failing to follow valid tax positions can get rejection of your refund application. Make sure all your claims are based on proper tax positions to avoid problems.

2. Non-compliant documentation

Incomplete or inadequate documentation is a major cause of delays. Ensure that all your tax invoices, credit notes, and supporting documents meet FTA requirements. Missing or incorrect paperwork can lead to extended processing times.

3. Lack of reconciliation

If you don’t regularly reconcile your books with your VAT returns & Customs statistical reports/ records, discrepancies can arise, leading to delays. Regular reconciliation helps keep your financial records in line with your VAT submissions.

4. FTA investigations

Large refund amounts or first-time VAT claims may trigger an investigation by the FTA. While this is standard procedure, it can significantly slow down your refund process. Being aware of this possibility can help you prepare.

Steps to Expedite Your VAT Refund Process

To ensure your VAT refund process goes smoothly, consider these steps:

1. Comprehensive review

Start by thoroughly reviewing your VAT returns, working papers, and refund calculations. This ensures you have enough documentation to support your claim and helps you spot any discrepancies.

2. Data preparation

Gather all necessary data and documentation required for your VAT refund application ahead of time. Organizing this information in advance will streamline the submission process and reduce errors.

3. Identify non-compliance

Take a close look at your business activities to identify any instances of VAT non-compliance. Addressing these issues early on can help optimize your processes and avoid complications later.

4. Timely submission

Submit your VAT refund application promptly and accurately to kick off the 20-day inquiry period set by the FTA. Delays in submission can lead to longer processing times, so aim to submit your application as early as possible.

5. Address queries efficiently

Good communication with the FTA is key. Respond to any queries they may have quickly and manage all correspondence efficiently. This proactive approach can help speed up your refund.

6. Seek professional assistance

Given the complexities of VAT refund claims, consulting experts can be extremely beneficial. Professional assistance ensures that your submissions are accurate and compliant, minimizing the risk of delays.

How to File Self-Assessment Tax Returns While Living Abroad?

For UK nationals or residents living abroad, navigating the self-assessment tax return process can be complex. Even if you’ve moved overseas, you might still have tax obligations in the UK, especially if you have UK-based income. Understanding how to stay compliant with UK tax laws while optimizing your tax situation can be challenging, which is why professional help is invaluable for expatriates.

Understanding Your Tax Obligations as an Expat

If you live abroad but maintain ties to the UK, such as owning property, earning income from investments, or receiving a pension, you may be required to complete a Self-Assessment Tax Return. Depending on your financial situation, you might be liable for tax on income generated within the UK. While some income may be eligible for tax relief under double taxation treaties, understanding the specific details requires careful review. Professional assistance can ensure you meet all your obligations without overpaying.

Avoiding Common Pitfalls in Overseas Self-Assessment

Filing a self-assessment tax filing while abroad is not always straightforward. Non-residents often encounter issues with exchange rates, foreign income reporting, and potential tax reliefs available under UK law. For example, incorrectly reporting foreign income or failing to apply relevant allowances can lead to penalties or missed tax-saving opportunities. Expert tax filers can help prevent these errors, ensuring that every aspect of your tax return is accurately managed.

The Benefits of Professional Help in Overseas Tax Filing

One key benefit of working with a professional for Overseas Self-Assessment is the expertise in handling the nuances of non-resident tax. Professionals have a clear understanding of expat-related deductions, allowances, and the impact of double taxation agreements. By working with a knowledgeable advisor, you gain peace of mind knowing that your overseas tax filing is compliant and optimized for maximum benefit.

Maximizing Tax Reliefs and Avoiding Penalties

For expats, tax reliefs, such as the UK personal allowance, may still apply, depending on residency status. Additionally, certain investments or expenses abroad may be eligible for deductions in your Self-Assessment Tax Return. A tax professional helps ensure these allowances are applied correctly, minimizing your tax liability. They can also help you avoid penalties that could arise from incomplete or incorrect submissions due to the complexities of cross-border taxation.

Conclusion

The self-assessment tax process from abroad requires specialized knowledge of UK tax laws and international agreements. Professional assistance is essential to avoid costly mistakes and make the most of available tax reliefs. For tailored support in filing your self-assessment from overseas, explore the services at tax-self-assessment.co.uk and ensure your tax affairs remain in order.
