The tax provides more than $23 billion per year in revenue for federal highway and public transit programs. The federal gas tax has been in place, in one way or another, since 1919 and was last raised in 1993.

Good urbanism should transcend politics. Socialists and capitalists can walk the same neighborhood and agree it's a pleasant place to live. They can each appreciate the tree canopy, the corner café with people spilling onto the sidewalk, the mix of ages on bikes and on foot, the architectural details of older buildings, and so on.

Mamdani stated that the City Council's budget strategy effectively ensures this structural deficit will continue indefinitely, impacting vital city services and failing to solve deep financial problems.

Through Community Facilities Districts (CFD), Municipal Utility Districts (MUD), Public Improvement Districts (PID), Community Development Districts (CDD) and reimbursement districts (RD), builders can potentially shift infrastructure costs off their balance sheets and onto special districts that homebuyers ultimately absorb through property taxes without potentially adding debt to the builder's books.

One of the biggest takeaways is that from a national perspective, the largest investors account for a really small proportion of single-family home purchases and that share has decreased in recent years.

A new estimate from the nonpartisan Legislative Analyst's Office found that Kumar's exemption could trigger the loss of $12 billion to $20 billion annually in these key revenues across the state.

The other half would go to schools.

California is known for a lot of things, but affordable housing isn't often among them. What catches many homeowners and prospective buyers off guard, however, is that property taxes in the state can quietly eat into thousands of dollars a year, even though California's effective tax rates look fairly modest on paper. The reality is that when you're taxing even a small percentage of a million-dollar home, bills add up fast, and in some counties, even faster than most people expect.

"If we don't get what we need [in terms of extra government help] then a Section 114 Notice will come in, which is effective bankruptcy. We'd then get administrators come in, in effect - they'd then make a plan for where the money gets spent in Worcestershire. It would be a catastrophe. We're going to have to halt projects that were put into the budget by the previous administration, things that maybe were 'nice to have', but we can't afford them."

If you're a homeowner in the state of Texas, you have the joy of living without any state income tax, and this has become one of the most powerful selling points of the state. Whether you are a retiree, a remote worker, or anyone looking to keep more of what they earn, the Lone Star State has plenty of appeal.
