Can We Tax Our Way to a Better Denver?

Are you interested in ideas for what we could do to get more housing built in Denver and the Front Range?

Have you wondered why our lively neighborhoods still contain vacant lots that sit unused for years?

Do you wonder how we could better design our tax system to more fairly reward those who invest in our cities?

Have you ever heard of Henry George, and wanted to learn more about how his ideas could still be applied today?

If your answer to any of those questions is yes, this is the event for you!

Co-sponsored by YIMBY Denver and the Progress and Poverty Institute, at this event you'll learn about the Land Value Tax (LVT), how it can jumpstart infill development, boost housing supply, rid our cities of empty lots and abandoned buildings -- and much more!

After we share some drinks and finger food, Josie Faass and Stephen Hoskins from the Progress and Poverty Institute will explain what LVT is, why we should care about it, and how it would work, using Denver as an example. This will be followed by a discussion and Q&A with our panel of local experts & policymakers, including:

Sarah Parady, At-Large Member of Denver City Council Member

Luke Teater, Thrive Economics

Representative Steve Woodrow

Senator Nick Hinrichsen

Don't miss what will definitely be the most stimulating discussion of property taxation and urban policy this year!
