I am on the autism spectrum. I have a deep interest in systems as well, and I like systems and so forth. Things and so forth. Social skills is not what I am good at and I still struggle with but improving with time.

There is an art in which I basically don't do that kind of thinking, that's improvisational comedy.

Improvisational comedy is an art in which I do by honed instinct. There's a system to it, and I can sometime recognize patterns, but most of the work I do is subconscious processing and rather autonomous.

To this day, I think I would have something to teach to the community if I could articulate the unique skills I possess.

It's self funding in places like Japan and Hong Kong, but these places also engage in value capture. Train services in these places are basically real estate companies with trains attached to them. They diversified by making train stations shopping malls.

In any case, cities can engage in value capture for public transportation. Just direct some of the property taxes collected directed to public transit. Even better would be some sort of LVT, ideally but not necessary 100% of the economic rent from land.

In any case, public transit should also engage in value capture on their own property. If they own a train station, they should consider building on top or adjacent to it spaces that they can then rent out to tenants. It's not only efficient but also serve the public and the local economy and making public transit more economical to run due to higher ridership.

They're monopolies. Break them up, heavily regulate, or tax their economic rent privileges.

Georgism gave a good lenses on these kind of issue. All the sudden, late stage capitalism starts looking like monopolies.

Land price will adjust accordingly in response to any positive economic news. If you want an unalloy good to come out of these programs, tax lands.

Otherwise, any welfare program will just get some of its value captured by landlords.

The taxes must be high enough if you want to drive the price of land down to zero. Lands worth million of dollars represented economic rent untaxed by the government.

That leaves you with other factors in the consideration of purchasing real estate such as the price of the building itself, as opposed to the land.
